Global warming impacts crop production and threatens food security. Elevated temperatures
are sensed by different cell components. Temperature increases are classified as either mild …

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are an ubiquitous protein family found in archaea,
bacteria and eukaryotes. In plants, as in other organisms, sHSPs are upregulated by stress …

Key message During abiotic stress low abundant amino acids are not synthesized but they
accumulate due to increased protein turnover under conditions inducing carbohydrate …

The large mitochondrial genomes of angiosperms are unusually dynamic because of
recombination activities involving repeated sequences. These activities generate …

Upon disturbance of their function by stress, mitochondria can signal to the nucleus to steer
the expression of responsive genes. This mitochondria-to-nucleus communication is often …

Abnormal environmental temperature affects plant growth and threatens crop production.
Understanding temperature signal sensing and the balance between defense and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling pathways from chloroplasts and
mitochondria merge at the nuclear protein RADICAL-INDUCED CELL DEATH1 (RCD1) …

Plastids are a group of essential, heterogenous semi-autonomous organelles characteristic
of plants that perform photosynthesis and a diversity of metabolic pathways that impact …

Plants have evolved overlapping but distinct cellular responses to different aspects of high
temperature stress. These responses include basal thermotolerance, short-and long-term …

Significance: For a plant to grow and develop, energy and appropriate building blocks are a
fundamental requirement. Mitochondrial respiration is a vital source for both. The delicate …
