Brachypodium peroxidase and drought tolerance
The peroxidase (POD) family shows functional diversity. Luo et al. demonstrate that Brachypodium distachyon ecotypes have distinct specific POD isozymes. Two POD genes are closely associated with whole-plant response to...

Regulation of peroxidase and molecular functions of 2-Cys PrxA
The 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx) A protein of Arabidopsis thaliana performs the dual functions of a peroxidase and a molecular chaperone depending on its conformation and the metabolic conditions. However, the precise...
Redox changes, dormancy breaking and ageing of seeds
Loss of seed viability has been associated with deteriorative processes that are partly caused by oxidative damage. The breaking of dormancy, a seed trait that prevents germination in unfavourable seasons, has also been...
Peroxidase allows germination of proanthocyanidin-deficient arabidopsis seeds
A comparison of wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and PA-deficient mutants finds that peroxidase activity is significantly over-activated in mutant seeds.

Hourglass cell development in soybean seed coat
Hourglass cells (HGC) are prominent cells in the legume seed coat. Miller et al. (pp. 235–242) document HGC development in soybean, Glycine max, and relate structural changes to expression of an HGC-specific soybean...
