Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development
ABSTRACT Due to their strong oxidizing potential, rapid membrane permeability, and high reactivity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential roles in plant development and stress responses. Superoxide (O2•‐) is a primary product of molecular oxygen reduction and a crucial source of hydrogen peroxide, representing a ROS species of substantial ...

Characterization of a Novel Creeping Tartary Buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) Mutant lazy1
Gravity is known as an important environmental factor involved in the regulation of plant architecture. To identify genes related to the gravitropism of Tartary buckwheat, a creeping line was obtained and designated as lazy1 from the mutant bank by 60Co ...

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack
Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

Sucrose and Mannans Affect Arabidopsis Shoot Gravitropism at the Cell Wall Level
Gravitropism is the plant organ bending in response to gravity. Gravitropism, phototropism and sufficient mechanical strength define the optimal position of young shoots for photosynthesis.

Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials
This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

Optimized Laboratory Maintenance and Functional Testing of Chara braunii
Abstract Chara braunii is an emerging model species for studying plant evolution and development. Various members of the Chara genus have been used for pioneering studies of electrophysiology, cytoplasmic streaming, and cell biology. However, many studies have been limited by challenges, such as overgrowth with epiphytes or non‐continuous growth ...
