TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the Oryza sativa OsbZIP50 transcription factor, an orthologue of Arabidopsis AtbZip60, is regulated by IRE1-mediated splicing of its RNA, and improves the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the plant ER stress response.

TL;DR: Polyamines are commonly utilized as the source of hydrogen peroxide during host- and nonhost HRs in higher plants, which is suggested to be the typical host HR in tobacco plants.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the rate of decrease in tissue temperature depends on the cooling temperature and the effects of cooling on tissue temperatures and circulation tend to be maintained during 60 min post-cooling period despite the cooling temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of altering the NADP level on plant metabolism was investigated in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants that overexpress NAD kinase2 (NADK2), an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of NADP from NAD in chloroplasts.

TL;DR: The results suggest that NADP content plays a critical role in determining the photosynthetic electron transport rate in rice and that its enhancement leads to stimulation of photosynthesis metabolism and tolerance of oxidative damages.
