Plant β-glucanases are enzymes involved in the synthesis, remodelling and turnover of cell
wall components during multiple physiological processes. Based on the type of the …

Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to
support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers …

Recent studies have revealed the operation of a long-distance communication network
operating within the vascular system of higher plants. The evolutionary development of this …

Abstract The conserved Target of Rapamycin (TOR) kinase forms high molecular mass
complexes and is a major regulator of cellular adaptations to environmental cues. The …

It remains unclear whether the phloem unloading pathway alters to adapt to developmental
transition in fleshy fruits that accumulate high level of soluble sugars. Using a combination of …

The evolution of intercellular communication had an important role in the increasing
complexity of both multicellular and supracellular organisms. Plasmodesmata, the …

▪ Abstract In Arabidopsis thaliana, the initiation of flowering is carried out by four genetic
pathways: gibberellin, autonomous, vernalization, and light-dependent pathways. These …

Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that
physically interconnect the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of adjacent cells …

The phloem translocation stream contains a population of RNA molecules, suggesting
plants use RNA to integrate developmental processes, at the whole‐plant level. In the …

Land plants have developed highly sophisticated intercellular channels called
plasmodesmata (PD) that mediate the cell-to-cell trafficking of signaling molecules, including …
