The power of small signaling peptides in crop and horticultural plants
Small signaling peptides, generally comprising fewer than 100 amino acids, act as crucial signaling molecules in cell-to-cell communications. Upon perception by their membrane-localized corresponding receptors or co-receptors, these peptide-receptor ...

Phosphate absorption by Arabidopsis thaliana : the effects of phosphorus nutritional status : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology and Biotechnology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The effect of phosphorus nutritional status on phosphate uptake within the concentration range of the high affinity uptake mechanism, and subsequent translocation to the shoot was investigated in the plant species Arabidopsis thaliana.

Understanding Plant Cell Death With “bak to life” Screens [PDF]
As sessile organisms, plants often need to activate a sophisticated immune system to evade pathogen infections. However, uncontrolled activation of defense pathways can have extremely damaging effects to the host.

Following localized infection, the entire plant foliage becomes primed for enhanced defense. However, specific genes induced during defense priming (priming-marker genes) and those showing increased expression in defense-primed plants upon rechallenge ...

Nitric oxide increases Pb tolerance by lowering Pb uptake and translocation as well as phytohormonal changes in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) [PDF]
Lead (Pb) is one of the most abundant toxic heavy metals which adversely affected growth and yield of crop plants. Nitric oxide (NO), an endogenous signaling molecule, has been suggested to be involved in defense responses to biotic and abiotic stresses ...

This study investigated the influence of Cd (25 µM) on Zn accumulation in a hyperaccumulating (HE) and a non-hyperaccumulating (NHE) ecotype of Sedum alfredii Hance at short-term supply of replete (Zn5, 5 µM) and excess (Zn400, 400 µM) Zn.

Anatomical Development of Cell Structure Including Casparian Strip during Root Growth in Grapevines
Morphological and anatomical changes in roots associated with their development were investigated in grapevines. When new roots initiated from the suberized structural root in grapevines, the tip of the root expanded outward and the suberized outer layer was detached from the surface of the root tip.

Nuclear localised more sulphur accumulation1 epigenetically regulates sulphur homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Sulphur (S) is an essential element for all living organisms. The uptake, assimilation and metabolism of S in plants are well studied. However, the regulation of S homeostasis remains largely unknown.
