With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop …

Many approaches to engineer source strength have been proposed to enhance crop yield
potential. However, a well-co-ordinated source–sink relationship is required finally to realize …

Metabolite transport between organelles, cells and source and sink tissues not only enables
pathway co-ordination but it also facilitates whole plant communication, particularly in the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs that supply mineral nutrients to
the host plant in exchange for carbon derived from photosynthesis. Sucrose is the end …

Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) is a key enzyme in sucrose synthesis, which controls
sucrose content in plants. This study was designed to examine the efficacy of the …

The objective of the present investigation was to understand the impact of exogenously
applied melatonin on mitochondrial respiration and sugar metabolism in two contrasting rice …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an important food crop consumed all over the world, but it is
generally sensitive to drought conditions. One of the major physiological processes affected …

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) represent an essential aspect of plant systems biology.
Identification of key protein players and their interaction networks provide crucial insights …

Plants inherently display a rich diversity in cell wall chemistry, as they synthesize an array of
polysaccharides along with lignin, a polyphenolic that can vary dramatically in subunit …

Plants host a diverse microbiome and differentially react to the fungal species living as
endophytes or around their roots through emission of volatiles. Here, using divided Petri …
