This review focuses on the intricate relationship between plant polyamines and the genetic
circuits and signaling pathways that regulate various developmental programs and the …

BACKGROUND As the world population ages, chronic diseases such as diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration become ever more prevalent …

In recent years, research on spermine (Spm) has turned up a lot of new information about
this essential polyamine, especially as it is able to counteract damage from abiotic stresses …

Polyamines are polycations that interact with negatively charged molecules such as DNA,
RNA and proteins. They play multiple roles in cell growth, survival and proliferation …

Compelling evidence indicates that free polyamines (PAs)(mainly putrescine, spermidine,
spermine, and its isomer thermospermine), some PA conjugates to hydroxycinnamic acids …

Background Plants require nitrogen (N) for growth, development and defence against abiotic
and biotic stresses. The extensive use of artificial N fertilizers has played an important role in …

Besides defence pathways regulated by classical stress hormones, distinct amino acid
metabolic pathways constitute integral parts of the plant immune system. Mutations in …

Phytohormone-like plant growth regulators are becoming hallmarks in plant stress biology
since they can offer incredible benefits to plants, such as increased crop output, improved …

S‐adenosylmethionine synthetase (SAMS) is the key enzyme catalysing the formation of S‐
adenosylmethionine (SAM), a precursor of polyamines and ethylene. To investigate the …

Roles of the major polyamines (mPA), putrescine, spermidine, and spermine (Spm), in
various developmental and physiological processes in plants have been well documented …
