Plants are sessile photo-autotrophic organisms continuously exposed to a variety of
environmental stresses. Monitoring the sugar level and energy status is essential, since this …

Environmental stresses cause membrane damage in terrestrial plants. Studies on the lipids
obtained from these plants are required to understand their adaptation to climate change …

Under nutrient and energy-limiting conditions, plants up-regulate sophisticated catabolic
pathways such as autophagy to remobilize nutrients and restore energy homeostasis …

Autophagy is a major pathway that recycles cellular components in eukaryotic cells both
under stressed and non-stressed conditions. Sugars participate both metabolically and as …

Senescence is an important physiological process which directly affects many agronomic
traits in plants. Senescence induces chlorophyll degradation, phytohormone changes …

Plant stress responses involve a suite of genetically encoded mechanisms triggered by real-
time interactions with their surrounding environment. Although sophisticated regulatory …

Abiotic stresses cause oxidative damage in plants. Here, we demonstrate that foliar
application of an extract from the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum, SuperFifty (SF), largely …

Background C. panzhihuaensis is more tolerant to freezing than C. bifida but the
mechanisms underlying the different freezing tolerance are unclear. Photosynthesis is one …

Light intensity influences energy production by increasing photosynthetic carbon, while
phosphorus plays an important role in forming the complex nucleic acid structure for the …

Plant species that exhibit vegetative desiccation tolerance can survive extreme desiccation
for months and resume normal physiological activities upon re-watering. Here we survey the …
