TL;DR: The morphological and proteomic changes induced in Eruca sativa in response to AgNPs or AgNO3 are determined to increase the understanding of the mechanisms involved in plant responses toAgNPs and to differentiate between particle specific and ionic silver effects.

TL;DR: Two dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry has been used to study the somatic embryogenesis in Vitis vinifera, by comparing embryogenic and non embryogenic calluses of the Thompson seedless cv.

TL;DR: The ripening-related induction of many enzymes involved in primary metabolism, including those of the last five steps of the glycolytic pathway, which had been described as down-regulated in previous studies performed on whole fruit, are observed.

TL;DR: It is shown that the blue petal color of petunia ph mutants is due to a failure to hyperacidify vacuoles, and it is reported that PH1 encodes a P3B-ATPase, hitherto known as Mg2(+) transporters in bacteria only, that resides in the vacuolar membrane (tonoplast).

TL;DR: In soybean roots, some of the responses to iron deficiency, such as the acidification of the rhizosphere and other related processes, do not occur or occur only at a lower degree, suggesting that the biochemical mechanisms induced by this nutritional disorder are differently regulated in this plant.
