Mitochondria are crucial for energy production in plant tissues, but their quantity and activity vary in different tissues and developmental processes. Determining the factors underlying differential molecular... Jing Hao, Yingyi Liang, Ting Wang and Yingjuan Su ...
Studies using genetic screening, biophysical characterization and structural reconstitution elucidate the mechanism of action and enable rational design of a new class of functional compounds that glue target proteins to E3 ligases via intramolecularly bridging two domains to enhance intrinsic protein–protein...
Structure and growth of plant cell walls Plant cells assemble a strong yet extensible primary cell wall consisting largely of polysaccharides. Emerging models of wall growth integrate physical properties such as mechanical strength and tension with cellular processes that govern wall loosening and expansion...
Previous studies have shown that 4CL genes are capable of responding to plant adversity stress and that different 4CL gene family members of the same species may differ in their response to stress [108]. Moreover, 4CLs expression levels were significantly changed under salt stress (Fig. 9; ...
Plant stem cells in the vascular cambium balance cell division and differentiation, thereby constantly forming new tissues. The main TFs affecting plant stem cell viability include CLV, CLE, and WOX. In this study, the expression levels of six CLV, three CLE, and eight WOX transcripts were simi...
This chapter discusses the internal structure and functional connections of higher plants. Plants have cells as their basic building blocks, and these cells are organised into tissues, which are organised into various sections of the plant.
Strigolactones (SLs) are a recently discovered class of plant hormones. SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1 (SMAX1)-like proteins, key component of the SL signaling pathway, have been studied extensively for their roles in regulating plant growth and development, such as plant branching. However, systematic ide...
A distinct class of vesicles derived from the trans-Golgi mediates secretion of xylogalacturonan in the root border cell. Plant. J. 92, 596–610 (2017). Article CAS PubMed Google Scholar Yu, L. et al. Eudicot primary cell wall glucomannan is related in synthesis, structure, and ...
Drugs that selectively kill senescent cells (senolytics) improve the outcomes of cancer, fibrosis and age-related diseases. Despite their potential, our knowledge of the molecular pathways that affect the survival of senescent cells is limited. To discov
In addition, numerous studies have shown that anthocyanin biosynthesis could be positively affected by sugar accumulation, leading to an increase in red coloration in plant tissues [44,45,46]. At the molecular level, anthocyanins can be induced by a sugar signaling network [47]. Sucrose can posi...
