Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling.

Chapter 1 Problems of adaptation to a terrestrial environment -- Chapter 2 An overview of plant structure and development -- Chapter 3 The protoplast of the eukaryotic cell -- Chapter 4 Structure and ...

Here, we discuss the role of auxin in growth and development in light of these exciting new developments. We highlight the structural insights into the mechanism of PIN-mediated auxin transport and ...

Plant cell walls contain the turgor pressure prevalent in plant cells and provide structural support during growth as well as protection from biotic and abiotic stresses. They perform these different ...

A gene that regulates the development of roots in vascular plants is also involved in the organ development of liverworts—land plants so old they don't even have proper roots. The Kobe University ...

Twenty five years ago, the IAEA initiated a research programme on the development of in vitro mutagenesis in banana at the Plant Breeding Laboratory and since then has developed considerable and ...

Scientists identified a gene responsible for triggering plants to develop fruits and seeds. This finding may help agriculturists bypass pollination altogether for food production, which will be ...
