Leaf senescence, the last stage of leaf development, is a type of postmitotic senescence and
is characterized by the functional transition from nutrient assimilation to nutrient …

Autophagy is a process in which cellular components are delivered to lytic vacuoles to be
recycled and has been demonstrated to promote abiotic/biotic stress tolerance. Here, we …

Autophagy is an intracellular process that facilitates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
materials by the vacuole or lysosome in eukaryotes. This conserved process is achieved …

ER-mitochondrial contact sites (EMCSs) are important for mitochondrial function. Here, we
have identified a EMCS complex, comprising a family of uncharacterised mitochondrial outer …

Autophagy is a major cellular degradation pathway in eukaryotes. Recent studies have
revealed the importance of autophagy in many aspects of plant life, including seedling …

The unfolded protein response (UPR) and the heat shock response (HSR) are two
evolutionarily conserved systems that protect plants from heat stress. The UPR and HSR …

Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis in plants and algae and, by extension, are
essential for most life on Earth. Their maintenance is costly and complex due to the inherent …

In photosynthetic plant cells, chloroplasts act as factories of metabolic intermediates that
support plant growth. Chloroplast performance is highly influenced by environmental cues …

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that recycles damaged or unwanted
cellular components, and has been linked to plant immunity. However, how autophagy …

Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are widely distributed in the plant
genome and can be methylated. However, whether DNA methylation of MITEs is associated …
