The nuclear‐encoded chloroplast small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are present in all plant
species from algae to angiosperms. Expression analysis shows that the wheat chloroplastic …

The metabolism of sulphur in angiosperms is reviewed under the aspect of exposure to
ecologically relevant concentrations of sulphur, heavy metals and metalloids. Because of the …

With the wide application of nanomaterials (NMs) in agriculture, it is particularly important to
assess the impact of these NMs on soil microorganisms. In this study, different varieties of …
