Although classically appreciated for their role as the powerhouse of the cell, the metabolic
functions of mitochondria reach far beyond bioenergetics. In this Review, we discuss how …

Significance: The imino acid proline is utilized by different organisms to offset cellular
imbalances caused by environmental stress. The wide use in nature of proline as a stress …

Proline plays important roles in protein synthesis and structure, metabolism (particularly the
synthesis of arginine, polyamines, and glutamate via pyrroline-5-carboxylate), and nutrition …

Dysfunction of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system is a major cause of human
disease and the cellular consequences are highly complex. Here, we present comparative …

Within the canonical repertoire of the amino acid involved in protein biogenesis, proline
plays a unique role as an amino acid presenting a modified backbone rather than a side …

We investigated vanillic acid-induced salt tolerance in tomato by exploring the plant defense
systems. Ten-d-old tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Pusa Ruby) seedlings were treated …

Synthetic fusion proteins can be designed to achieve improved properties or new
functionality by synergistically incorporating multiple proteins into one complex. The fusion …

Amino Acid Metabolism, 3rd Edition covers all aspects of the biochemistry and nutritional
biochemistry of the amino acids. Starting with an overview of nitrogen fixation and the …

Proline is not only an essential component of proteins but it also has important roles in
adaptation to osmotic and dehydration stresses, redox control, and apoptosis. Here, we …

Many landraces of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] are adapted to particular
geographical and climatic conditions. Here we describe two landraces grown respectively in …
