Mechanical bending stress can result in cell wall strengthening and increased wood formation across root axes together with an attendant asymmetrical accumulation of phytohormones. De Zio et al. show how different...
Despite their importance in many aspects of plant physiology, information about the function of oxidative and, particularly, of nitrosative signalling in fruit biology is limited. Tanou et al. study the ripening of...
Pepper (Capsicum annuum, Solanaceae) fruits are consumed worldwide and are of great economic importance. In most species ripening is characterized by important visual and metabolic changes, the latter including emission...
Pepper (Capsicum annuum) contains high levels of antioxidants, such as vitamins A and C and flavonoids. However, information on the role of these beneficial compounds in the physiology of pepper fruit remains scarce...
Suaeda maritima shows morphologically different forms on high and low areas of the same salt marsh. Wetson et al.Β demonstrate that roots of this halophyte have a constitutively very high activity of lactate...
