1. Abiotic Stress Tolerance. Metabolic and Physiological Effects of Compatible Solutes and Calmodulin on E. coli and Tobacco
Abstract : In their natural habitats, bacteria and plants can be exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt concentrations and freezing, which are factors limiting their capacity for growth and proliferation. To withstand environmental stresses, they have evolved specific stress responses. READ MORE

2. Characterization of regulatory factors controlling tip growth in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes
Abstract : Rho GTPases constitute a family of highly conserved signaling proteins with key functions in the regulation of cellular polarization and polar cell growth. In plants, Rho GTPases are represented by a plant specific subfamily referred to as Rac/Rop GTPases. READ MORE

3. Understanding and manipulating primary cell walls in plant cell suspension cultures
Abstract : The cell wall is required for many aspects of plant function and development. It is also an accessible and renewable resource utilized both in unrefined forms and as raw material for further development. Increased knowledge regarding cell wall structure and components will contribute to better utilization of plants and the resources they provide. READ MORE

4. Calreticulins- Calcium-Binding Proteins with Functional Diversity and Evolutionary Duality
Abstract : Calreticulin is a multifunctional protein mainly localized in the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic organisms, except yeasts. The protein comprises three distinct regions: the N-terminal N domain, the C-terminal C domain, and the central P domain, reflecting the functional diversity of calreticulin. READ MORE

5. Plants as Factories for Insect Pheromone Production : Deciphering and Reconstructing Sex Pheromone Biosynthetic Pathways of Female Moths
Abstract : Compared to other organisms in which the fatty acyl desaturases (FADs) are mostly involved in normal cellular lipid metabolism, moth FADs have evolved extent functions in the biosynthesis of sex pheromones. Female moths releasespecies-specific sex pheromones to attract conspecific males over a long distance for mating. READ MORE
