Plant stature and development are governed by cell proliferation and directed cell growth.
These parameters are determined largely by cell wall characteristics. Cellulose microfibrils …

Heavy metals can represent a threat to the health of aquatic ecosystems. Unlike organic
chemicals, heavy metals cannot be eliminated by natural processes such as their …

The remarkable plasticity of plant ontogeny is shaped by hormone pathways, which not only
orchestrate intrinsic developmental programs, but also convey environmental inputs …

Plant cell walls are complex structures composed of high-molecular-weight polysaccharides,
proteins, and lignins. Among the wall polysaccharides, cellulose, a hydrogen-bonded β-1, 4 …

Rates of plant cell elongation change with day-night alternation, reflecting differences in
metabolism related to cell wall remodeling. Information from cell wall surveillance pathways …

Plant susceptibility to pathogens is usually considered from the perspective of the loss of
resistance. However, susceptibility cannot be equated with plant passivity since active host …

The capacity to produce the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is widespread among
bacteria that inhabit diverse environments such as soils, fresh and marine waters, and plant …

environmental stresses.•The synthesis of cellulose at the primary cell wall is directly …

With the increasing use of antibiotics, their ecological impacts have received widespread
attention. However, research on the toxicity of quinolone antibiotics is still limited, especially …

Drought stress (DS) is a potential abiotic stress that is substantially reducing crop
productivity across the globe. Likewise, salinity stress (SS) is another serious abiotic stress …
