Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin C in Plants: Novel Concepts, New Perspectives, and Outstanding Issues.
TL;DR: The roles of ascorbate in photosynthesis and other process are re-evaluate, addressing the question of how much the authors really know about the regulation of asCorbate homeostasis and its functions in plants, or how AO is regulated to modulate apoROS signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ectopic phytocystatin expression leads to enhanced drought stress tolerance in soybean (Glycine max) and Arabidopsis thaliana through effects on strigolactone pathways and can also result in improved seed traits

TL;DR: Data provide evidence that OCI-inhibited cysteine proteases participate in the control of growth and stress tolerance through effects on strigolactones, and conclude that cysteined proteases are important targets for manipulation of plant growth, development and stressolerance, and also seed quality traits.
Book ChapterDOI
Interactions Between Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism
TL;DR: In this article, the interdependence of carbon and nitrogen assimilation in photosynthetic plants was revealed. But the authors did not consider the control over this partitioning, since both external nitrogen availability and internal nitrogen demand may be variable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercellular compartmentation of sucrose synthesis in leaves of Zea mays L.
TL;DR: In Zea mays starch and sucrose synthesis are spatially, separated with Sucrose synthesis occurring in the mesophyll compartment and starch synthesis in the bundle sheath, and the distribution of enzymes involved in suc rose synthesis indicated that sucrose-phosphate synthetase was predominantly located in the Mesophyll, as was cytosolic (neutral) fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulating the Redox Gatekeeper: Vacuolar Sequestration Puts Glutathione Disulfide in Its Place
TL;DR: The case is made for the potential importance of compartmentalization in redox signaling with new data on the transporters that may be involved.
