    Phytosterol metabolism in plant positive-strand RNA virus replication

    The genome of most plant viruses consists of a single positive-strand of RNA (+ ssRNA). Successful replication of these viruses is fully dependent on the endomembrane system of the infected cells, which experi...

    Structural and functional analysis of tomato sterol C22 desaturase

    Sterols are structural and functional components of eukaryotic cell membranes. Plants produce a complex mixture of sterols, among which β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, and cholesterol in some Solanace...

    Strategies and Methodologies for the Co-expression of Multiple Proteins in Plants

    The first transgenes were introduced in a plant genome more than 30 years ago. Since then, the capabilities of the plant scientific community to engineer the genome of plants have progressed at an unparalleled...

    The roles of polyamines during the lifespan of plants: from development to stress

    Compelling evidence indicates that free polyamines (PAs) (mainly putrescine, spermidine, spermine, and its isomer thermospermine), some PA conjugates to hydroxycinnamic acids, and the products of PA oxidation ...

    Copper-containing amine oxidases contribute to terminal polyamine oxidation in peroxisomes and apoplast of Arabidopsis thaliana

    Polyamines (PAs) are oxidatively deaminated at their primary or secondary amino-groups by copper-containing amine oxidases (CuAOs) or FAD-dependent amine oxidases (PAOs), respectively. Both enzymes have long b...

    Polyamines: molecules with regulatory functions in plant abiotic stress tolerance

    Early studies on plant polyamine research pointed to their involvement in responses to different environmental stresses. During the last few years, genetic, transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches have unrav...

    Involvement of polyamines in plant response to abiotic stress

    Environmental stresses are the major cause of crop loss worldwide. Polyamines are involved in plant stress responses. However, the precise role(s) of polyamine metabolism in these processes remain ill-defined....

    Integrated Molecular Analysis of the Polyamine Metabolic Pathway in Abiotic Stress Signalling

    Land plants experience constant fluctuations in the availability of water, thus they have evolved adaptive features to mine and absorb water through the root system, to prevent excessive transpiration water lo...
