Restraining Quiescence Release-Related Ageing in Plant Cells: A Case Study in Carrot
The blackening of cut carrots causes substantial economic losses to the food industry. Blackening was not observed in carrots that had been stored underground for less than a year, but the susceptibility to blackening increased with the age of the ...

Investigation of Salicylic Acid-induced Change on Flavonoids Production Under Cadmium Toxicity in Buckwheat (Fagopyrum Esculentum Moench) Plants [PDF]
Salicylic acid (SA) is an imperative endogenous plant hormone. It is considered as one of the most important signaling molecule, involved in both abiotic and biotic stress tolerance.

Role of lignification in plant defense [PDF]
For a long time it has been believed that lignification has an important role in host defense against pathogen invasion. Recently, by using an RNAi gene-silencing assay we showed that monolignol biosynthesis plays a critical role in cell wall apposition (CWA)-mediated defense against powdery mildew fungus penetration into diploid wheat.

Hydrogen peroxide and lignification [PDF]
The production of hydrogen peroxide in plant tissue is demonstrated quickly with a simple histochemical test. The test solution, 50 mM potassium iodide in a 4% (w/v) potato starch suspension, is applied to the cut surface of the tissue to be tested. Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes iodide ions to iodine; the iodine is complexed by the starch to form a blue ...

Atypical lignification in eastern leatherwood (Dirca palustris) [PDF]
Summary Lignin is a complex phenolic biopolymer found mainly in the secondary cell walls of vascular plants, where it contributes to mechanical strength, water conduction, and plant defence. We studied the lignin of eastern leatherwood (Dirca palustris) because this slow‐growing woody shrub is known for its flexible stems.

MANAGEMENT OF MAIZE STOVER WITH UNDERDOSES RATES OF GLYPHOSATE APPLICATIONS IN NO-TILLAGE [PDF]
Glyphosate has significant effects on the growth and development of plants when in underdoses. This work was developed to verify the effect of the application of glyphosate in underdoses in lignin synthesis and consequently decomposition of maize stover.

Analysis of gene mutation in plant cell wall by dielectric relaxation [PDF]
Arabidopsis Thaliana is a plant composed mainly of cellulose and lignin. Geneticists need techniques able to make differences at the molecular level between modified plants (DML6, CAD C/D) and non-modified ones.

Nitric oxide alleviates cadmium- but not arsenic-induced damages in rice roots [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) has signalling roles in plant stress responses. Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) soil pollutants alter plant development, mainly the root-system, by increasing NO-content, triggering reactive oxygen species (ROS), and forming peroxynitrite

Alfalfa Stem Cell Wall Digestibility: Current Knowledge and Future Research Directions
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is considered as the most important forage legume with high biomass yield and nutritional quality for ruminants. The alfalfa leaf cell walls are highly digestible, but stem cell walls of alfalfa are not readily digestible ...
