abstract：:During the past decade there has been rapidly increasing interest in the role of plant volatiles in insect-plant interactions and the induction of plant defence systems by both pathogens and herbivores. Scientists are striving to link the proximate studies elucidating pathways and genes with the ultimate adaptive stud...

abstract：:The creation of transgenic plants has brought significant advances to light in plant biotechnology. However, in spite of the fact that transgenic plants are beginning to be grown widely, controlled transgene integration into a pre-determined site remains to be achieved. Here we suggest two alternative approaches for g...

abstract：:Meiosis is pivotal in the life history of plants. In addition to providing an opportunity for genetic reassortment, it marks the transition from diploid sporophyte to haploid gametophyte. Recent molecular data suggest that, like animals, plants possess a common set of genes (also conserved in eukaryotic microorganisms...

abstract：:Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress in plant agriculture worldwide. This has led to research into salt tolerance with the aim of improving crop plants. However, salt tolerance might have much wider implications because transgenic salt-tolerant plants often also tolerate other stresses including chilling, freezing,...

abstract：:Plants have mechanisms to promote outbreeding and thereby to increase their genetic diversity. In species that are self-incompatible, self-pollen is rejected by the stigma. This mechanism has been the subject of intense study for many years and, in the past two years, significant progress has been made in identifying ...

Reduced photosynthesis and stomatal conductance have been reported at all developmental transitions, although some studies have shown the opposite. What causes these changes and why do results differ a...

abstract：:Sugar-transport proteins play a crucial role in the cell-to-cell and long-distance distribution of sugars throughout the plant. In the past decade, genes encoding sugar transporters (or carriers) have been identified, functionally expressed in heterologous systems, and studied with respect to their spatial and tempora...

abstract：:Cell walls, the extracytoplasmic matrices of plant cells, consist of an ordered array of cellulose microfibrils embedded in a matrix of polysaccharides and glycoproteins. This construction is reminiscent of steel rods in reinforced concrete. How a cell organizes these ordered textures around itself, creating its own d...

In many cases, the phosphorylated target protein must associate with a specialized adapter protein, known as 14-3-3, to compl...

abstract：:Aquaporins are water channel proteins of vacuolar and plasma membranes. When opened they facilitate the passive movement of water molecules down a water potential gradient. In Arabidopsis, 30 genes have been found that code for aquaporin homologues. Some of these genes code for highly abundant constitutively expressed...

Recognition results in the activation of a variety of defence responses, including localized programmed cell death (the hypersensitive response), synthesis of pathogenesis-related proteins and induction of systemic acquired resistance. These responses are ...
