TL;DR: This review provides a broad overview of recent advances in cellular protein research with regards to heavy metal tolerance in plants and discusses how plants maintain functional and healthy proteomes for survival under such capricious surroundings.

TL;DR: Investigating the effects of different forms and mode of Se application on Se accumulation and speciation in rice suggested that root application of Se may ensure the safe intake of Se through rice and deepens the understanding of the Se species in Se-enriched rice.

TL;DR: It is reported that irrigation treatment with melatonin effectively ameliorated high temperature-induced inactivation of pollen and inhibition of pollen germination in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants, suggesting a novel function ofmelatonin to protect pollen activity under high temperature and support the potential effects of melatonin on reproductive development of plants.

TL;DR: Findings unmasked the functional hierarchy of GLR-H2 O2 -Glutathione cascade and shed new light on cold response pathway in tomato plants.

TL;DR: It is reported that low-S conditions cause serious growth inhibition by reducing chlorophyll content, photosynthesis and biomass accumulation, and supplementation to the S-deprived plants resulted in a significant diminution in reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, thereby mitigating S deficiency-induced damages to cellular macromolecules and ultrastructures.
