Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

When plants are attacked by pathogens, they defend themselves with an arsenal of defence
mechanisms, both passive and active. The active defence responses, which require de novo …

Since their appearance in the first land plants, genes encoding class III peroxidases have
been duplicated many times during evolution and now compose a large multigene family …

Abstract Class III peroxidases (CIII Prxs) are plant specific proteins. Based on in silico
prediction and experimental evidence, they are mainly considered as cell wall localized …

The apoplast is a continuous plant compartment that connects cells between tissues and
organs and is one of the first sites of interaction between plants and microbes. The plant cell …

Abstract Wall-associated kinase 1 (WAK1) is a transmembrane protein containing a
cytoplasmic Ser/Thr kinase domain and an extracellular domain in contact with the pectin …

Cell wall proteins are essential constituents of plant cell walls; they are involved in
modifications of cell wall components, wall structure, signaling and interactions with plasma …

A 0–500 μM Cd2+ alone and/or heat stress in rice cv. DR-92 (sensitive) and cv. Bh-1
(tolerant), altered the banding patterns of SOD, CAT, POD and APX enzymes in roots/shoots …

Two class III peroxidases from Arabidopsis, AtPrx33 and Atprx34, have been studied in this
paper. Their encoding genes are mainly expressed in roots; AtPrx33 transcripts were also …

Class III peroxidases form a numerous multigenic family in higher plants, whose expression
is particularly sensitive to internal or external events. Arabidopsis thaliana genome harbours …
