Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recycle intracellular constituents, which
are essential for developmental and metabolic transitions; for efficient nutrient reuse; and for …

Autophagy is an intracellular process that facilitates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
materials by the vacuole or lysosome in eukaryotes. This conserved process is achieved …

Senescence is an age-dependent process, ultimately leading to plant death, that in annual
crop plants overlaps with the reproductive stage of development. Research on the molecular …

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to survive when in unfavorable
environments. Autophagy is a macromolecule degradation pathway that recycles damaged …

In the past decade, autophagy studies have largely focused on the early stage of autophagy:
the molecular mechanisms leading to autophagosome formation. Recently, however, we …

Autophagic and endocytic pathways are tightly regulated membrane rearrangement
processes that are crucial for homeostasis, development and disease. Autophagic cargo is …

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular process for vacuolar degradation of
cytoplasmic components. In higher plants, autophagy defects result in early senescence and …

Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recycle intracellular constituents. One
gaining in appreciation is autophagy, which involves specialized vesicles engulfing and …

The plant innate immune response includes the hypersensitive response (HR), a form of
programmed cell death (PCD). PCD must be restricted to infection sites to prevent the HR …

Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds found in all vascular and non-vascular plants.
Although nonessential for plant growth and development, flavonoids have species-specific …
