Plants display enormous diversity in their metabolism. Although the biosynthesis and
function of the myriad plant metabolites have been studied for decades, we have little …

Sulfur‐containing amino acids, cysteine and methionine synthesized in plants are essential
for human and animal nutrition. That is why understanding of how inorganic sulfur is taken …

Variations in early fruit development and composition may have major impacts on the taste
and the overall quality of ripe tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit. To get insights into the …

Maturation of fleshy fruits such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is subject to tight genetic
control. Here we describe the development of a quantitative real‐time PCR platform that …

Although poplar plantations are often established on nitrogen (N)-poor soil, the
physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying wood properties of poplars in …

Background Holistic profiling and systems biology studies of nutrient availability are
providing more and more insight into the mechanisms by which gene expression responds …

Background Biological systems adapt to changing environments by reorganizing their
cellular and physiological program with metabolites representing one important response …

This study aims to characterize diet-dependent amino acid metabolism by linking profiles of
amino acids concentrations (“aminograms”) with transcript datasets through the analysis of …

Abiotic stress, which includes salinity, drought, heat, and cold, as well as their many
combinations, severely reduces crop productivity across the globe each year. Considering …

Sulfur (S) assimilation by plants plays a key role in the S cycle in nature, and metabolism of
the assimilated S provides various compounds that are useful for animals, including …
