Nitric oxide in plants: an assessment of the current state of knowledge

Luis A. J. Mur, Julien Mandon, Stefan Persijn et al. · 20 Dec 2012

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: After a series of seminal works during the last decade of the 20th century, nitric oxide (NO) is now firmly placed in the pantheon of plant signals. Nitric oxide acts in plant-microbe interactions, responses to abiotic stress, stomatal regulation and a range of developmental processes. By considering the recent advances in plant…

Hydrogen peroxide—a central hub for information flow in plant cells

Veselin Petrov, Frank Van Breusegem · 1 Jan 2012

BACKGROUND: Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) was initially recognized as a toxic reactive oxygen species, able to cause damage to a variety of cellular structures. However, it became clear in the last decade that H(2)O(2) can also act as a potent signalling molecule, involved in a plethora of physiological functions. SCOPE: In the present review, we offer…

Effect of salt stress on ion concentration, proline content, antioxidant enzyme activities and gene expression in tomato cultivars

Charfeddine Gharsallah, H. Fakhfakh, Douglas Grubb et al. · 18 Aug 2015

Abstract Salinity is a constraint limiting plant growth and productivity of crops throughout the world. Understanding the mechanism underlying plant response to salinity provides new insights into the improvement of salt tolerance-crops of importance. In the present study, we report on the responses of twenty cultivars of tomato. We have clustered genotypes into scale classes…

Metabolic responses to drought stress in the tissues of drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive wheat genotype seedlings

Rui Guo, Lianxuan Shi, Yang Jiao et al. · 28 Feb 2018

An in-depth understanding of the effects of drought stress on plant metabolism is necessary to improve the drought tolerance of wheat and to utilize genetic resources for the development of drought stress-tolerant wheat varieties. In this study, the profiles of 58 key metabolites produced by wheat seedlings in response to drought stress were investigated to…

<i>Prosopis</i> : a global assessment of the biogeography, benefits, impacts and management of one of the world's worst woody invasive plant taxa

Ross T. Shackleton, David C. Le Maître, Nick Pasiecznik et al. · 1 Jan 2014

Invasive species cause ecological, economic and social impacts and are key drivers of global change. This is the case for the genus Prosopis (mesquite; Fabaceae) where several taxa are among the world's most damaging invasive species. Many contentious issues ('conflicts of interest') surround these taxa, and management interventions have not yet sustainably reduced the negative…
