Leaf senescence, the last stage of leaf development, is a type of postmitotic senescence and
is characterized by the functional transition from nutrient assimilation to nutrient …

Whether flavonoids play significant antioxidant roles in plants challenged by photooxidative
stress of different origin has been largely debated over the last few decades. A critical review …

In plants, pathogen effector-triggered immunity (ETI) often leads to programmed cell death,
which is restricted by NPR1, an activator of systemic acquired resistance. However, the …

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recycle intracellular constituents, which
are essential for developmental and metabolic transitions; for efficient nutrient reuse; and for …

The innate immune system uses a distinct set of germline-encoded pattern recognition
receptors (PRRs) to initiate downstream inflammatory cascades. This recognition system is …

Autophagy is a process in which cellular components are delivered to lytic vacuoles to be
recycled and has been demonstrated to promote abiotic/biotic stress tolerance. Here, we …

Cambial development in the stems of perennial woody species is rigorously regulated by
phytohormones. Auxin and gibberellin (GA) play crucial roles in stimulating cambial activity …

Leaf senescence is a highly coordinated, complicated process involving the integration of
numerous internal and environmental signals. Salicylic acid (SA) and reactive oxygen …

The colonization of land by plants was a key event in the evolution of life. Here we report the
draft genome sequence of the filamentous terrestrial alga Klebsormidium flaccidum (Division …

In recent years salicylic acid (SA) has been the focus of intensive research due to its function
as an endogenous signal mediating local and systemic plant defence responses against …
