Outer protective barriers of animals use a variety of bio‐polymers, based on either proteins
(eg collagens), or modified sugars (eg chitin). Plants, however, have come up with a …

Melatonin was discovered in plants in the late nineties, but its role, signaling, and crosstalk
with other phytohormones remain unknown. Research on melatonin in plants has risen …

Cutin and wax are the main precursors of the cuticle that covers the aerial parts of plants and
provide protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases …

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase is one of the most widely studied enzymes in the plant
kingdom. It is a crucial pathway from primary metabolism to significant secondary …

Accompanying the process of growth and development, plants are exposed to ever-
changing environments, which consequently trigger abiotic or biotic stress responses. The …

In all eukaryotes, autophagy is the main pathway for nutrient recycling, which encapsulates
parts of the cytoplasm and organelles in double-membrane vesicles, and then fuses with …

The periderm provides a protective barrier in many seed plant species. The development of
the suberized phellem, which forms the outermost layer of this important tissue, has become …

Crop production worldwide is under pressure from multiple factors, including reductions in
available arable land and sources of water, along with the emergence of new pathogens …

Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient of plants. Plants grapple with a narrow range of B
between its toxicity and deficiency. B homeostasis mechanism is required to rescue plants …

Long‐chain acyl‐CoA synthetases (LACSs) play many roles in mammals, yeasts and plants,
but knowledge on their functions in microalgae remains fragmented. Here via genetic …
