Oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions are central to the existence of life. Reactive species of
oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur mediate redox control of a wide range of essential cellular …

Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

Stomata are micropores on the leaf epidermis that allow carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake for
photosynthesis at the expense of water loss through transpiration. Stomata coordinate the …

Water is crucial for plant growth and survival. The transcellular water movement is facilitated
by aquaporins (AQPs) that rapidly and reversibly modify water permeability. The abundance …

Maintenance of optimal leaf tissue humidity is important for plant productivity and food
security. Leaf humidity is influenced by soil and atmospheric water availability, by …

In plants so‐called plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are major water channels
governing plant water status. Membrane trafficking contributes to functional regulation of …

Plant aquaporins (AQPs) facilitate the membrane diffusion of water and small solutes,
including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and, possibly, cations, essential signalling molecules …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a ubiquitous organelle that is vital to the life of eukaryotic
cells. It synthesizes essential lipids and proteins and initiates the glycosylation of …

The repeated, rapid and often pronounced patterns of evolutionary divergence observed in
insular plants, or the 'plant island syndrome', include changes in leaf phenotypes, growth, as …

Mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels are an evolutionarily conserved way for cells to sense
mechanical forces and transduce them into ionic signals. The channel properties of …
