Abstract. Seed storage proteins (SSPs), which accumulate specifically during seed development, constitute a major source of plant-derived protein in the hu

Drought stress significantly threatens global food security by limiting plant growth. Here, authors demonstrate that chemical inhibition of potassium channels induces stomatal closure and enhances dro...

Proper pollen tube growth in Arabidopsis thaliana requires maintenance of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ gradient by vacuolar and ER Ca2+-ATPases.

Upon activation, plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors are known to assemble into oligomeric resistosomes that insert into the plasma membrane, forming calcium (Ca2+)–per...

All organisms fuel and build themselves through their energy metabolism. While classic biochemistry conceptualizes the fluxes of energy and matter, our understanding of how energy metabolism works in ...

The bid to understand long distance Ca2+ signaling patterns in co-ordinating whole-plant responses to systemic or induced defense have been scarce in soil-grown plants mainly due to limitations of…

How do the different parts of an adult plant communicate with each other when it suffers an injury, is waterlogged, burnt or exposed to environmental stress? Today we can answer this question thanks t...

Plants are sessile organisms and must integrate information from a range of external stimuli to respond appropriately to their environment. Stomata form a

Hydrogen sulfide and L-CYSTEINE DESULFHYDRASE1 actively participate in flagellin-induced stomatal closure, modulating apoplastic and cytosolic reactive oxy

Salicylic acid (SA) is a key phytohormone that orchestrates immune responses against pathogens, including Pseudomonas syringae bacteria. The timing and extent of SA accumulation are tightly controlled...

July 1, 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of Nikon’s microscope business.
