Increasing numbers of plant proteins are being shown to have posttranslationally-attached
lipids. The modifications include N-myristoylation, S-palmitoylation, prenylation by farnesyl …

Lowering of the osmotic value of the medium has been reported previously to induce an
oxidative burst in plant cells. This has been explained by a sequence of events, including …

The potassium (K) is an essential macronutrient and the availability of K in the soil is
gradually decreasing which severely affecting crop productivity in the south of China. The …

Aluminium accumulates predominantly in the root apoplast where it binds to the pectin
matrix of the cell wall with its negative charges. In this study, we investigated whether short …

We investigated the response of extracellular phosphatase to heat shock in heterotrophic
Chenopodium rubrum L. cell cultures. Surprisingly, in contrast to the generally used acid …

The effect of brief heat shock on Chenopodium cells was investigated by measuring
biochemical parameters for cellular vitality, membrane function and integrity: extracellular …

The adverse effects of aluminium (Al) on growth of plants is primary caused by inhibition of
root elongation. The mechanism of Al-induced inhibition of root growth is still not fully …

Acid pbosphatases (APases) catalyze the hydrolysis of orthophosphate esters at acid pH
optima. APases have been detected in many plant tissues, including roots, tubers, leaves …
