The pollen tube is a fast tip-growing cell carrying the two sperm cells to the ovule allowing
the double fertilization process and seed setting. To succeed in this process, the spatial and …

Cold stress modifies anthers' metabolic pathways to induce pollen sterility. Cold-tolerant
plants, unlike the susceptible ones, produce high proportion of viable pollen. Anthers in …

Certain plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), in the absence of physical contact
with a plant stimulate growth via volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, through …

Strawberry softening is characterized by an increase in the solubilization and
depolymerization of pectins from cell walls. Galactose release from pectin side chains by β …

Receptor‐like kinases (RLK) comprise a large gene family within the Arabidopsis genome
and play important roles in plant growth and development as well as in hormone and stress …

Camellia oil extracted from the seeds of Camellia oleifera Abel. is a popular and high-quality
edible oil, but its yield is limited by seed setting, which is mainly caused by self …

Abstract β-Galactosidases (Bgals) remove terminal β-D-galactosyl residues from the
nonreducing ends of β-D-galactosidases and oligosaccharides. Bgals are present in …

Cadmium (Cd) is a non‐essential, toxic heavy metal that poses serious threats to both
ecosystems and human health. Plants employ various cellular and molecular mechanisms …

Three Arabidopsis genes encoding a putative β-galactosidase (At5g56870), β-xylosidase
(At5g49360) and β-glucosidase (At3g60140) are induced by sugar starvation. The deduced …

Aims This study aimed to isolate plant growth and drought tolerance-promoting bacteria from
the nutrient-poor rhizosphere soil of Thar desert plants and unravel their molecular …
