ABSTRACT Boron, an essential micronutrient, plays a crucial role in plant reproductive processes. Boron deficiency is widespread in many regions and significantly reduces alfalfa (Medicago sativa) seed yield, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its impact on reproductive organ development remain elusive.

To compare the activities of enzymes related to ascorbate-glutathione cycle (AsA-GSH cycle) in different varieties, the fruits of five green-fleshed kiwifruit varieties were used as materials and activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbic acid (MDHA), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) were measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry ...

ABSTRACT Low temperature triggers Ca2+ signalling and reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism in plants. However, how the Ca2+ signal is transduced to the downstream metabolic pathways remains unknown. The involvement of a cold‐induced calmodulin‐like protein, MfCML50, from Medicago falcata in regulation of cold tolerance was examined in the ...

Multigene families encode the major enzymes of antioxidant metabolism in Eucalyptus grandis L
Antioxidant metabolism protects cells from oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). In plants, several enzymes act jointly to maintain redox homeostasis.

ABSTRACT Drought is the major abiotic stress threatening global crop yields, thus identifying potential candidates with promising breeding value has become a central goal of current breeding programmes. Here, we found that miR164b functions as a negative regulator in plant drought tolerance, whose expression is dramatically inhibited under drought ...

Biochemical responses of Hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus) to salinity stress [PDF]
Effect of salinity on Hyacinth bean, Lablab purpureus (HA-4 cultivar) was evaluated in 10-day old seedlings with 100-500 mM NaCl over 72 h of exposure. The stress reduced dry and fresh wt., leaf surface area, root and shoot length, total chlorophyll,

ABSTRACT Oomycete pathogens secrete hundreds of RXLR effectors into plant cells to modulate host immunity by targeting diverse plant proteins. Here, we report that the Peronophythora litchii RXLR effector PlAvh133 acts as a virulence factor and targets the litchi glycolate oxidase (GLO) LcGLO1, a key enzyme in photorespiration, thereby suppressing ...
