Extensive efforts have been made to fortify essential amino acids and boost nutrition in
plants, but unintended effects on growth and physiology are also observed. Understanding …

Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important signal molecule in plants, having myriad
roles in plant development. In addition, NO also orchestrates both biotic and abiotic stress …

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), a type of inactive enzyme largely present in fish liver cells,
is essential for the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Monitoring ALT activity in the …

Experiments were conducted on two wheat (Triticum aestivum L) cultivars exposed to NaCl
stress with and without potassium (K) supplementation. Salt stress induced using NaCl …

The extension of commercial life and the reduction of postharvest losses of perishable fruits

Unanticipated flooding challenges plant growth and fitness in natural and agricultural
ecosystems. Here we describe mechanisms of developmental plasticity and metabolic …

Amino acids are the main contributors to tea (Camellia sinensis) flavor and function. Tea
leaves contain not only proteinaceous amino acids but also specialized non-proteinaceous …

Post-genomics era has witnessed the development of cutting-edge technologies that have

Abiotic stresses rewire plant central metabolism to maintain metabolic and energy
homeostasis. Metabolites involved in the plant central metabolic network serve as a hub for …

The two forms of inorganic arsenic, arsenate (AsV) and arsenite (AsIII), are easily taken up
by the cells of the plant root. Once in the cell, AsV can be readily converted to AsIII, the more …
