Seed germination (SG) is the first stage in a plant's life and has an immense importance in
sustaining crop production. Abiotic stresses reduce SG by increasing the deterioration of …

The mobilization of seed storage proteins upon seed imbibition and germination is a crucial
process in the establishment of the seedling. Storage proteins fold compactly, presenting …

Soil salinity and drought limit sweet potato yield. Scavenging of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) by peroxidases (PRXs) is essential during plant stress responses, but how PRX …

Increased cellular levels of reactive oxygen species are known to occur during seed
development and germination, but the consequences in terms of protein degradation are …

Storage proteins perform essential roles in plant survival, acting as molecular reserves
important for plant growth and maintenance, as well as being involved in defense …

Plant cells cannot live without their vacuoles. The tissues and organs of a plant contain a
wide variety of differentiated and specialized vacuoles—even a single plant cell can …

Soybean is an utterly important crop for high-quality meal protein and vegetative oil.
Soybean seed protein content has become a key factor in nutrients for livestock feed as well …

Plant Biochemistry presents each topic from the cellular level to the ecological and
environmental levels, placing it in the context of the whole plant. Biochemical pathways are …

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is the most cultivated European pulse crop and the pea seeds
mainly serve as a protein source for monogastric animals. Because the seed protein …

Immunity of plants triggered by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) is based
on the execution of an evolutionarily conserved defense response that includes the …
