Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing drought tolerance in C4 crops
Marta S. Lopes,José Luis Araus,José Luis Araus,Philippus D.R. van Heerden,Christine H. Foyer +4 more
TL;DR: Current evidence points to the crucial importance of root traits in drought tolerance in C(4) plants, shoot traits may also be important in maintaining high yields during drought, and the molecular mechanisms underpinning heterosis have considerable potential in enhancing drought stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant responses to insect herbivory: interactions between photosynthesis, reactive oxygen species and hormonal signalling pathways
TL;DR: How insect infestation impacts on the stress signalling network through effects on ROS and cellular redox metabolism with particular emphasis on the roles of ROS in the plant responses to phloem-feeding insects is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Elevated Cytosolic Glutathione Reductase Activity on the Cellular Glutathione Pool and Photosynthesis in Leaves under Normal and Stress Conditions.
TL;DR: It is concluded that in the natural state glutathione reductase is present in tobacco at levels above those required for maximal operation of the ascorbate-glutathione pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for ‘futile cycles’ involving invertase and sucrose synthase in sucrose metabolism of tomato fruit
TL;DR: The major function of the high and constant invertase activity in red tomato fruit is to maintain high cellular hexose concentrations, the hydrolysis of sucrose in the vacuole and in the intercellular space allowing more efficient storage of sugar in these compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular redox compartmentation and ROS-related communication in regulation and signaling
Graham Noctor,Christine H. Foyer +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the advances in subcellular compartmentation is provided, identifying the gaps in knowledge and discussing future developments in the area, with substantial plasticity in organellar shape, with extensions such as stromules, peroxules, and matrixules playing potentially crucial roles in organelle-organelle communication.
