In the growth condition (s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced
by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and …

Several environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic factors, adversely affect the
growth and development of crops, thereby lowering their yield. However, abiotic factors, eg …

Lignin is conventionally defined as being formed by the oxidative polymerization of three
main monolignols, p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol, that are …

Plant secondary metabolites are unique sources for pharmaceuticals, food additives, flavors,
and industrially important biochemicals. Accumulation of such metabolites often occurs in …

Putrescine (Put) is the starting point of the polyamines (PAs) pathway and the most common
PA in higher plants. It is synthesized by two main pathways (from ornithine and arginine), but …

Being sessile, plants are subjected to a diverse array of environmental stresses during their
life span. Exposure of plants to environmental stresses results in the generation of reactive …

Significance of naturally occurring intracellular polyamines (PAs), such as spermine,
spermidine, and putrescine, in relation to the mechanism and adaptation to combat abiotic …

Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous biogenic amines that have been implicated in diverse
cellular functions in widely distributed organisms. In plants, mutant and transgenic plants …

Plants wield and arsenal of structurally diverse chemical compounds called secondary
metabolites, which equip them strategies to deter enemies, fend off pathogens, supersede …

Polyamines are amine-containing, low molecular weight, and ubiquitous polycationic
molecules present in almost all cells and free-living microbes, which are formed by aliphatic …
