Mitochondria produce ATP via respiratory oxidation of organic acids and transfer of
electrons to O2 via the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This process produces …

Plant responses to different stresses are highly complex and involve changes at the
transcriptome, cellular, and physiological levels. Recent evidence shows that plants respond …

Many studies have described the response mechanisms of plants to salinity and heat
applied individually; however, under field conditions some abiotic stresses often occur …

Plants inhabit environments crowded with infectious microbes that pose constant threats to
their survival. Necrotrophic pathogens are notorious for their aggressive and wide-ranging …

Biotic factors affect plant immune responses and plant resistance to pathogen infections.
Despite the considerable progress made over the past two decades in manipulating genes …

The recurrent repeats having conserved stretches of amino acids exists across all domains
of life. Subsequent repetition of single sequence motif and the number and length of the …

Abstract Background Pentatricopeptide-repeat proteins (PPRs) are characterized by tandem
arrays of a degenerate 35-amino-acid (PPR motifs), which can bind RNA strands and …

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins form a large protein family in land plants, with
hundreds of different members in angiosperms. In the last decade, a number of studies have …

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, which are characterized by tandem 30–40 amino
acid sequence motifs, constitute of a large gene family in plants. Some PPR proteins have …
