Plant Transglutaminases: New Insights in Biochemistry, Genetics, and Physiology

Cells, 2022
Transglutaminases (TGases) are calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyse an acyl-transfer reaction between primary amino groups and protein-bound Gln residues. They are widely distributed in nature, being found in vertebrates, invertebrates, microorganisms,

Plant neighbor identity influences plant biochemistry and physiology related to defense [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Chemical and biological processes dictate an individual organism's ability to recognize and respond to other organisms. A small but growing body of evidence suggests that plants may be capable of recognizing and responding to neighboring ...

Medicinal Plants and Phytomedicines. Linking Plant Biochemistry and Physiology to Human Health [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2000
The past decade has witnessed a tremendous resurgence in the interest and use of medicinal plant products, especially in North America. Surveys of plant medicinal usage by the American public have shown an increase from just about 3% of the population in 1991 to over 37% in 1998 ([Brevoort, 1998 ...

Morphology, photosynthetic physiology and biochemistry of nine herbaceous plants under water stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Global climate warming and shifts in rainfall patterns are expected to trigger increases in the frequency and magnitude of drought and/or waterlogging stress in plants. To cope with water stress, plants develop diverse tactics.
