Journal ArticleDOI
Significance of Inducible Defense-related Proteins in Infected Plants
TL;DR: The evolutionary conservation of similar defense-related proteins in monocots and dicots, but also their divergent occurrence in other conditions, suggest that these proteins serve essential functions in plant life, whether in defense or not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of abiotic stress signals on secondary metabolites in plants
TL;DR: This brief review summarizes the influence of different abiotic factors include salt, drought, light, heavy metals, frost etc. on secondary metabolites in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of Phenylpropanoid Pathway and the Role of Polyphenols in Plants under Abiotic Stress.
TL;DR: The biochemical and molecular mechanisms related to the activation of phenylpropanoid metabolism are discussed and phenolic-mediated stress tolerance in plants is described to provide updated and brand-new information about the response of phenolics under a challenging environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress and defense responses in plant secondary metabolites production
TL;DR: Application of molecular biology tools and techniques are facilitating understanding the signaling processes and pathways involved in the SMs production at subcellular, cellular, organ and whole plant systems during in vivo and in vitro growth, with application in metabolic engineering of biosynthetic pathways intermediates.

Cloning and characterization of chi-1: a developmentally regulated member of a novel class of the ionotropic glutamate receptor family
TL;DR: A cloned member of a novel class of the rat ionotropic glutamate receptor family, termed chi-1, exhibits an average identity to NMDA subunits and 23% to non-NMDA sub units, which suggests that chi- 1 may specifically interact with NMDA receptor subunits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of alpha-helical antifreeze peptides on specific ice crystal surface planes
TL;DR: The suggested mechanism of growth inhibition operates through the influence of local surface curvature upon melting point and results in complete inhibition of the crystal growth even though individual antifreeze molecules bind at only one interface orientation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Freezing and Damage
TL;DR: In conclusion, experiments to genetically engineer expression of fish antifreeze proteins have not improved freezing tolerance of sensitive species, and a better strategy may be to confer tolerance of cellular dehydration.

Antifreeze proteins: an unusual receptor–ligand interaction
Zongchao Jia,Peter L. Davies +1 more
TL;DR: It now seems probable that van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions make a significant contribution to the enthalpy of adsorption.
