A Novel Cysteine Protease from <i>Phytolacca americana</i> Cleaves Pokeweed Antiviral Protein Generating Bioactive Fragments. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)The apoplast is often the first point of contact between plant cells and invading pathogens, serving as an important site for defense signaling. Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), a ribosome-inactivating protein from Phytolacca americana (pokeweed), is ...

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) Adsorption and Detoxification Mechanisms in Cell Wall Polysaccharides of Phytolacca americana L. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2023 The cell wall (CW) is critical for the accumulation of heavy metals in metal-tolerant plants. Polysaccharides, the main component of the CW, contribute significantly to the immobilization of heavy metals.

Rapid seedling emergence of invasive Phytolacca americana is related to higher soluble sugars produced by starch metabolism and photosynthesis compared to native P. acinosa. [PDF]
Front Plant SciSeedling emergence is an essential event in the life cycle of plants. Most invasive plants have an advantage in population colonization over native congeners.
