Under conditions of hypoxia, most eukaryotic cells can shift their primary metabolic strategy
from predominantly mitochondrial respiration towards increased glycolysis to maintain ATP …

Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

High salinity is a challenging environmental stress for organisms to overcome. Unicellular
photosynthetic microalgae are especially vulnerable as they have to grapple not only with …

Chitosan in both native and degraded form (oligosaccharides) acts as a growth promoter
and generate responses associated with both primary and secondary metabolism in plants …

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), a well-known animal hormone, is also
involved in plant development and abiotic stress responses. In this study, it is shown that …

Major insights into the phylogenetic distribution, biochemistry, and evolutionary significance
of organelles involved in ATP synthesis (energy metabolism) in eukaryotes that thrive in …

Phosphorus (P) is limiting for crop yield on> 30% of the world's arable land and, by some
estimates, world resources of inexpensive P may be depleted by 2050. Improvement of P …

▪ Abstract Phosphorus is one of the major plant nutrients that is least available in the soil.
Consequently, plants have developed numerous morphological, physiological, biochemical …

Plant rhizosphere is the soil nearest to the plant root system where roots release large
quantity of metabolites from living root hairs or fibrous root systems. These metabolites act …

Plant developmental processes are controlled by internal signals that depend on the
adequate supply of mineral nutrients by soil to roots. Thus, the availability of nutrient …
