Upon exposure to drought, plants undergo complex signal transduction events with
concomitant changes in the expression of genes, proteins and metabolites. For example …

Agricultural production relies on horticultural crops, including vegetables, fruits, and
ornamental plants, which sustain human life. With an alarming increase in human …

Influence of supplementation of selenium (Se, 1 and 5 µM) and silicon (Si, 0.1 and 0.5 mM)
was investigated in wheat under arsenic (30 µM As) stress. Plants grown under As stress …

Proteases, including serine proteases, are involved in the entire life cycle of plants.
Proteases are controlled by protease inhibitors (PI) to limit any uncontrolled or harmful …

The composition and structure changes of three energy substances (protein, lipid, and
sugar) and minerals during flaxseed germination were investigated. Na, Ca, Fe, and total …

Potato is the largest non-cereal food crop worldwide and a vital substitute for cereal crops,
considering its high yield and great nutritive value. It plays an important role in food security …

Fibrillin family members play multiple roles in growth, development, and protection against
abiotic stress. In this study, we identified 12 potential CaFBN s that are ranging from 25 kDa …

To investigate the toxic effects of lead (Pb) on key metabolic activities essential for proper
germination and seedling growth of maize seeds, experiments were carried out with different …

The papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs), the most important group of cysteine
proteases, have been reported to participate in the regulation of growth, senescence, and …

Background Plant cells usually sustain a stable membrane potential due to influx and/or
efflux of charged ions across plasma membrane. With the growth and development of plants …
