Herbivory, defined as feeding on live plant tissues, is characteristic of highly successful and
diverse groups of insects and represents an evolutionarily derived mode of feeding. Plants …

Seed and fruit set are established during and soon after fertilization and determine seed and
fruit number, their final size and, hence, yield potential. These processes are highly sensitive …

Both Met (methionine) and SAM (S-adenosylmethionine), the activated form of Met,
participate in a number of essential metabolic pathways in plants. The subcellular …

Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and
internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow …

Sulfur is an essential nutrient, necessary for synthesis of many metabolites. The uptake of
sulfate, primary and secondary assimilation, the biosynthesis, storage, and final utilization of …

Membrane proteins are essential to move amino acids in or out of plant cells as well as
between organelles. While many putative amino acid transporters have been identified …

The coordinated distribution of nitrogen to source leaves and sinks is essential for
supporting leaf metabolism while also supplying sufficient nitrogen to seeds for …
