Reduction in soil fertility and depletion of natural resources due to current intensive
agricultural practices along with climate changes are the major constraints for crop …

Gaseous molecules, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO), are crucial
players in cellular and (patho) physiological processes in biological systems. The biological …

Rice grains typically contain high levels of toxic arsenic but low levels of the essential
micronutrient selenium. Anthropogenic arsenic contamination of paddy soils exacerbates …

The adaptation of plant metabolism to stress-induced energy deficiency involves profound
changes in amino acid metabolism. Anabolic reactions are suppressed, whereas respiratory …

Sulfur is required for growth of all organisms and is present in a wide variety of metabolites
having distinctive biological functions. Sulfur is cycled in ecosystems in nature where …

Karrikins are butenolides derived from burnt vegetation that stimulate seed germination and
enhance seedling responses to light. Strigolactones are endogenous butenolide hormones …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) was initially recognized as a toxic gas and its biological functions
in mammalian cells have been gradually discovered during the past decades. In the latest …

Both Met (methionine) and SAM (S-adenosylmethionine), the activated form of Met,
participate in a number of essential metabolic pathways in plants. The subcellular …

Sulfur is an essential nutrient, necessary for synthesis of many metabolites. The uptake of
sulfate, primary and secondary assimilation, the biosynthesis, storage, and final utilization of …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has emerged as a potential gasotransmitter in plants with a
beneficial role in stress amelioration. Despite the various known functions of H 2 S in plants …
