During seed growth, the filial organs, Vicia embryos and barley endosperm, differentiate into
highly specialized storage tissues. Differentiation is evident on structural and morphological …

Tuberization is one of the multiple outputs of a single-input phytochrome B sensory system,
involving several regulatory genes. Phytochrome B-and GA-mediated photoperiodic …

A unique plant on many levels, the distinctive properties of the Jerusalem artichoke, or
Helianthus tuberosus L., present novel answers to some of today's most pressing problems …

Storage root formation and development in sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam.
Convolvulaceae] is a complex process characterized by the cessation of root elongation …

Background Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) play vital roles in plant growth
and development, biotic and abiotic stress responses, and hormone signaling. Little is …

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs/CDPKs) are Ca2+-sensors that decode Ca2+
signals into specific physiological responses. Research has reported that CDPKs constitute …

Providing basic information on reactive oxygen species (ROS), this volume describes new
developments in the action of ROS, the role of antioxidants, and the mechanisms developed …

S-acylation, also known as S-palmitoylation or palmitoylation, is a reversible post-
translational lipid modification in which long chain fatty acid, usually the 16-carbon …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuberization is regulated by many signals, such as abscisic
acid (ABA), sucrose and gibberellic acid (GA). ABA and sucrose are positive modulators …

Key message StCDPK2 is an early player in the salt stress response in potato plants; its
overexpression promoted ROS scavenging, chlorophyll stability, and the induction of stress …
