Boron is an essential plant micronutrient taken up via the roots mostly in the form of boric
acid. Its important role in plant metabolism involves the stabilization of molecules with cis …

Boron-containing compounds (BCC) have emerged as important pharmacophores. To date,
five BCC drugs (including boronic acids and boroles) have been approved by the FDA for …

Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral
molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins …

The high accumulation of silicon (Si) protects plants from biotic and abiotic stresses. Two
different types of Si transporter [Low Silicon 1 (Lsi1) and 2 (Lsi2)] involved in the uptake and …

Nitrogen availability is a major factor determining plant growth and productivity. Plants
acquire nitrogen nutrients from the soil through their roots mostly in the form of ammonium …

Plant stature and development are governed by cell proliferation and directed cell growth.
These parameters are determined largely by cell wall characteristics. Cellulose microfibrils …

The endodermal tissue layer is found in the roots of vascular plants and functions as a
semipermeable barrier, regulating the transport of solutes from the soil into the vascular …

Plant growth and productivity are adversely affected by various abiotic stressors and plants
develop a wide range of adaptive mechanisms to cope with these adverse conditions …

Industrialization and ever-augmenting urbanization are directly linked to elevation of
metalloid stressors in the environment. Human activities induced disruption of the natural …

Endomembrane trafficking is essential for all eukaryotic cells. The best-characterized
membrane trafficking organelles include the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus …
