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 …

Photosynthesis, pathogen infection, and plant defense are three important biological
processes that have been investigated separately for decades. Photosynthesis generates …

Phytohormones are major signaling components that contribute to nearly all aspects of plant
life. They constitute an interconnected communication network to fine-tune growth and …

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 …

The chemical and physical resemblance between selenium (Se) and sulfur (S) establishes
that both these elements share common metabolic pathways in plants. The presence of …

Understanding plant metabolism as an integrated system is essential for metabolic
engineering aimed at the effective production of compounds useful to human life and the …

The aim of this review is to synthesize current knowledge of selenium (Se) transport and
metabolism in plants, with a focus on implications for biofortification and phytoremediation …

While the metabolic networks in developing seeds during the period of reserve
accumulation have been extensively characterized, much less is known about those present …

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 …
