Hydrogen Peroxide is Scavenged by Ascorbate-specific Peroxidase in Spinach Chloroplasts

Yoshiyuki Nakano, Kozi Asada · 1 Aug 1981

Abstract Intact spinach chloroplasts scavenge hydrogen peroxide with a peroxidase that uses a photoreductant as the electron donor, but the activity of ruptured chloroplasts is very low [Nakano and Asada (1980) Plant & Cell Physiol. 21 : 1295]. Ruptured spinach chloroplasts recovered their ability to photoreduce hydrogen peroxide with the concomitant evolution of oxygen after…

Hd3a, a Rice Ortholog of the Arabidopsis FT Gene, Promotes Transition to Flowering Downstream of Hd1 under Short-Day Conditions

Shoko Kojima, Yuji Takahashi, Yasushi Kobayashi et al. · 15 Oct 2002

Heading date 3a (Hd3a) has been detected as a heading-date-related quantitative trait locus in a cross between rice cultivars Nipponbare and Kasalath. A previous study revealed that the Kasalath allele of Hd3a promotes heading under short-day (SD) conditions. High-resolution linkage mapping located the Hd3a locus in a approximately 20-kb genomic region. In this region, we…

Functional Analysis of Rice DREB1/CBF-type Transcription Factors Involved in Cold-responsive Gene Expression in Transgenic Rice

Yusuke Ito, Koji Katsura, Kyonoshin Maruyama et al. · 13 Nov 2005

The transcription factors dehydration-responsive element-binding protein 1s (DREB1s)/C-repeat-binding factors (CBFs) specifically interact with the DRE/CRT cis-acting element and control the expression of many stress-inducible genes in Arabidopsis. The genes for DREB1 orthologs, OsDREB1A and OsDREB1B from rice, are induced by cold stress, and overexpression of DREB1 or OsDREB1 induced strong expression of stress-responsive genes in…

Effect of Abscisic Acid on Active Oxygen Species, Antioxidative Defence System and Oxidative Damage in Leaves of Maize Seedlings

Mingyi Jiang, Jianhua Zhang · 15 Nov 2001

Leaves of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings were supplied with different concentrations of abscisic acid (ABA). Its effects on the levels of superoxide radical (O(2)(-)), hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and the content of catalytic Fe, the activities of several antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR), the…

Molecular Basis of the Core Regulatory Network in ABA Responses: Sensing, Signaling and Transport

Taishi Umezawa, Kazuo Nakashima, Takuya Miyakawa et al. · 26 Oct 2010

ABA is a major phytohormone that regulates a broad range of plant traits and is especially important for adaptation to environmental conditions. Our understanding of the molecular basis of ABA responses in plants improved dramatically in 2009 and 2010, banner years for ABA research. There are three major components; PYR/PYL/ RCAR (an ABA receptor), type…

Plant and Cell Physiology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Plant and Cell Physiology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Plant and Cell Physiology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Plant and Cell Physiology use?
Plant and Cell Physiology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Plant and Cell Physiology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Plant and Cell Physiology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Plant and Cell Physiology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Plant and Cell Physiology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Plant and Cell Physiology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Plant and Cell Physiology?
Oxford University Press journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Oxford University Press.
Can I export a submission-ready Plant and Cell Physiology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Plant and Cell Physiology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Plant and Cell Physiology template cost?
You can start writing in the Plant and Cell Physiology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Plant and Cell Physiology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
