Plastids communicate their developmental and physiological status to the nucleus via
retrograde signaling, allowing nuclear gene expression to be adjusted appropriately …

Free magnesium (Mg2+) is a signal of the adenylate (ATP+ ADP+ AMP) status in the cells. It
results from the equilibrium of adenylate kinase (AK), which uses Mg-chelated and Mg-free …

Flowering plants with indeterminate inflorescences often produce more floral structures than
they require. We found that floral primordia initiations in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) are …

Acclimation is the capacity to adapt to environmental changes within the lifetime of an
individual. This ability allows plants to cope with the continuous variation in ambient …

Low temperature-induced cold stress is a major threat to plant growth, development and
distribution. Unraveling the responses of temperature-sensitive crops to cold stress and the …

A network of peptidases governs proteostasis in plant chloroplasts and mitochondria. This
study reveals strong genetic and functional interactions in Arabidopsis between the …

Plants need to acclimate to different stresses to optimize growth under unfavorable
conditions. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the abundance of the chloroplast …

Selective partitioning of amino acids among organelles, cells, tissues, and organs is
essential for cellular metabolism and plant growth. Nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and …

Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATC), an essential enzyme for de novo pyrimidine
biosynthesis, is uniquely regulated in plants by feedback inhibition of uridine 5 …

A characteristic feature of most plants is their ability to perform photosynthesis, which
ultimately provides energy and organic substrates to most life. Photosynthesis dominates …
