Plant metabolism is perturbed by various abiotic stresses. As such the metabolic network of
plants must be reconfigured under stress conditions in order to allow both the maintenance …

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

Key message During abiotic stress low abundant amino acids are not synthesized but they
accumulate due to increased protein turnover under conditions inducing carbohydrate …

Adverse environmental conditions such as high temperature and drought stress greatly limit
the growth and production of crops worldwide. Several NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) …

In addition to light and water, CO 2 and mineral elements are required for plant growth and
development. Among these factors, nitrogen is critical, since it is needed to synthesize …

Although amino acids are critical for all forms of life, only proteogenic amino acids that
humans and animals cannot synthesize de novo and therefore must acquire in their diets …

In cellular circumstances under which carbohydrates are scarce, plants can metabolize
proteins and lipids as alternative respiratory substrates. Respiration of protein is less …

Storage oil mobilization starts with the onset of seed germination. Oil bodies packed with
triacylglycerol (TAG) exist in close proximity with glyoxysomes, the single membrane–bound …

Plants are constantly confronted by multiple types of stress. Despite their distinct origin and
mode of perception, nutrient deprivation and most stresses have an impact on the overall …

The respiratory electron transport chain (ETC) couples electron transfer from organic
substrates onto molecular oxygen with proton translocation across the inner mitochondrial …
