Although amino acids are critical for all forms of life, only proteogenic amino acids that
humans and animals cannot synthesize de novo and therefore must acquire in their diets …

Storage oil mobilization starts with the onset of seed germination. Oil bodies packed with
triacylglycerol (TAG) exist in close proximity with glyoxysomes, the single membrane–bound …

Currently, there is a lack of information about the influence of foliar-applied nanoplastics on
crop growth and nutritional quality. To fill the knowledge gap, soil-grown lettuces (Lactuca …

Genetic improvement for drought tolerance in chickpea requires a solid understanding of
biochemical processes involved with different physiological mechanisms. The objective of …

Mitochondrial respiration and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity are required during salt
stress in plants to provide ATP and reductants for adaptive processes such as ion exclusion …

Drought has serious effects on the physiology of cereal crops. At the cellular and specifically
the metabolite level, many individual compounds are increased to provide osmoprotective …

Drought is a major limiting factor of crop productivity worldwide and its incidence is predicted
to increase under climate change. Drought adaptation of cool-season grasses is thus a …

The respiratory electron transport chain (ETC) couples electron transfer from organic
substrates onto molecular oxygen with proton translocation across the inner mitochondrial …

Pathways regulating threonine, methionine and isoleucine metabolism are very efficiently
interconnected in plants. As both threonine and methionine serve as substrates for …

The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a crucial component of respiratory metabolism in both
photosynthetic and heterotrophic plant organs. All of the major genes of the tomato TCA …
