Lipid droplets, also known as oil bodies or lipid bodies, are plant organelles that
compartmentalize neutral lipids as a hydrophobic matrix covered by proteins embedded in a …

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

Above-optimal growth temperatures, usually referred to as heat stress (HS), pose a
challenge to organisms' survival as they interfere with essential physiological functions and …

Water is the most abundant component in fresh fruit and vegetables and its distribution and
hydrogen bonding state in cells has a significant influence on food processing. In the current …

The endomembrane system consists of various membrane‐bound organelles including the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, trans‐Golgi network (TGN), endosomes, and …

Plant intracellular nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat immune receptors (NLRs)
perceive the activity of pathogen‐secreted effector molecules that, when undetected …

Plant polysaccharides are components of plant cell walls and/or store energy. However, this
oversimplified classification neglects the fact that some cell wall polysaccharides and …

Correct regulation of intercellular communication is a fundamental requirement for cell
differentiation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the female germline differentiates from a single …

Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are interorganellar connections that allow for the direct
exchange of molecules, such as lipids or Ca2+ between organelles, but can also serve to …

Phytopathogens cause plant diseases that threaten food security. Unlike mammals, plants
lack an adaptive immune system and rely on their innate immune system to recognize and …
