Nitrogen (N) is a basic building block that plays an essential role in the maintenance of
normal plant growth and its metabolic functions through complex regulatory networks. Such …

The transition from the juvenile to adult phase in plants is controlled by diverse exogenous
and endogenous cues such as age, day length, light, nutrients, and temperature. Previous …

Complex and interconnected signaling networks allow organisms to control cell division,
growth, differentiation, or programmed cell death in response to metabolic and …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an important food crop consumed all over the world, but it is
generally sensitive to drought conditions. One of the major physiological processes affected …

In many higher plants, sucrose is loaded as a major carbon photoassimiliate into the phloem
apoplastically by sucrose transporters (SUTs) and unloaded in sink tissues, where it serves …

Recent work on anhydrobiosis in invertebrates is reviewed. I introduce definition and
classification of cryptobiosis, and review the distinctive features and extremely high stress …

Sugar compartmentation into vacuoles of higher plants is a very important physiological
process, providing extra space for transient and long-term sugar storage and contributing to …

Salicylic acid (SA)-induced resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in tobacco
(Nicotiana tabacum) results from inhibition of systemic virus movement and is induced via a …

Previously we reported the isolation of three sucrose transporter genes, TaSUT1A, 1B and
1D, all expressed at high levels in the developing grains of hexaploid wheat (Triticum …

The transition from sink to source status is one of the key events in leaf development. When
a leaf is about half grown, it stops importing phloem-mobile nutrients from the rest of the …
