This paper compares three possible strategies for enhanced lipid overproduction in
microalgae: the biochemical engineering (BE) approaches, the genetic engineering (GE) …

Phosphorus (P) is a macronutrient necessary for plant growth and development. Inorganic
phosphate (Pi) deficiency modulates the signaling pathway of the phytohormone jasmonate …

Carbohydrate partitioning between the source and sink tissues plays an important role in
regulating plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating …

Cucurbitacins are triterpenoids that confer a bitter taste in cucurbits such as cucumber,
melon, watermelon, squash, and pumpkin. These compounds discourage most pests on the …

Leaf senescence is regulated by diverse developmental and environmental factors.
Exogenous jasmonic acid (JA) can induce leaf senescence, whereas auxin suppresses this …

Jasmonic acid (JA) is well known to promote lateral root formation but the mechanisms by
which JA signalling is integrated into the pathways responsible for lateral root formation, and …

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a vital role in plant development and response
to environmental challenges, but the complex networks of ABA signaling pathways are …

The accumulation of deleterious mitochondrial DNA (∆ mtDNA) causes inherited
mitochondrial diseases and ageing-associated decline in mitochondrial functions such as …

The heat shock response (HSR) is essential for proteostasis and cellular health. In
metazoans, aging is associated with a decline in quality control, thus increasing the risk for …

Fat is stored or mobilized according to food availability. Malfunction of the mechanisms that
ensure this coordination underlie metabolic diseases in humans. In mammals, lysosomal …
