SELENOPROTEIN O is a chloroplast protein involved in ROS scavenging and its absence increases dehydration tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
The evolutionary conserved family of Selenoproteins performs redox-regulatory functions in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. Among them, members of the SELENOPROTEIN O (SELO) subfamily are located in mammalian and yeast mitochondria, but their functions ...

Summary B‐box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In

Exogenous Glutathione and Nitric Oxide Improve Waterlogging Stress Tolerance in Maize
Exogenous glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NO) enhance waterlogging tolerance in maize seedlings by reducing oxidative damage and improving growth. Combined GSH + NO treatment reduces H2O2 and malondialdehyde levels, enhances antioxidant defenses, protects photosynthetic pigments, and promotes biomass accumulation, thereby improving the ...

Pyrroline-5-Carboxylate Reductase Is in Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Leaf Chloroplasts [PDF]
Proline accumulation is a well-known response to water deficits in leaves. The primary cause of accumulation is proline synthesis. Delta(1)-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (PCR) catalyzes the final reaction of proline synthesis. To determine the subcellular location of PCR, protoplasts were made from leaves of Pisum sativum L., lysed, and ...

Mitigating drought stress and enhancing quinoa productivity using iron and zinc nanoparticles
Abstract In recent years, the cultivation area and consumption of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) have increased in the country due to its nutritional properties and ability to grow in adverse conditions. Based on climate change scenarios, long periods of drought are expected, which emphasizes the need for planting and developing new plants that are ...

Mutations in PYCR2, Encoding Pyrroline-5-Carboxylate Reductase 2, Cause Microcephaly and Hypomyelination [PDF]
Despite recent advances in understanding the genetic bases of microcephaly, a large number of cases of microcephaly remain unexplained, suggesting that many microcephaly syndromes and associated genes have yet to be identified. Here, we report mutations in PYCR2, which encodes an enzyme in the proline biosynthesis pathway, as the cause of a unique ...
