Senescence is an age-dependent process, ultimately leading to plant death, that in annual
crop plants overlaps with the reproductive stage of development. Research on the molecular …

Ammonium is a form of inorganic nitrogen derived from several metabolic pathways, and is
assimilated into glutamine, glutamate, asparagine and carbamoylphosphate. These …

The study aimed to investigate the effects of an AM fungus (Glomus intraradices Schenck
and Smith) on mineral acquisition in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) plants under …

After 30 years of intensive work, nitric oxide (NO) has just started to be characterized as a
relevant regulatory molecule on plant development and responses to stress. Its reactivity as …

Medicago truncatula has been developed into a model legume. Its close relative alfalfa
(Medicago sativa) is the most widely grown forage legume crop in the United States. By …

Flower senescence is genetically regulated and developmentally controlled. The
phytohormone ethylene induces flower senescence in rose (Rosa hybrida), but the …

Legumes establish symbioses with rhizobia by forming nitrogen‐fixing nodules. Nitrate is a
major environmental factor that affects symbiotic functioning. However, the molecular …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling and defence molecule involved in diverse plant
developmental processes, as well as in the plant response to pathogens. NO has also been …

Fruit quality is a very complex trait that is affected by both genetic and non-genetic factors.
Generally, low temperature (LT) is used to delay fruit senescence and maintain fruit quality …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an ordered cell suicide that removes unwanted or
damaged cells, playing a role in defense to environmental stresses and pathogen invasion …
