11. New insights into plant amino acid transport and its contribution to nitrogen nutrition
Abstract : Nitrogen (N) is a crucial element for plant growth and development, as it is a key constituent of numerous plant metabolites and structural components. However, most plant N is in the form of amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins, precursors of many secondary metabolites and the “currency” of N within plants (i.e. READ MORE

12. Studies on plant-microbe interaction to improve stress tolerance in plants for sustainable agriculture
Abstract : Biotic and abiotic stress factors have a major impact on plants and cause extensive losses to crop production. Bacteria that provide growth promotion and prime stress tolerance of plants have great potential to improve crop production and support durable and environmental friendly resource management.

14. Synthesis of glucuronoxylan in higher and lower plants : is there conservation of the enzymatic machinery?
Abstract : The hemicellulose glucuronoxylan (GX) is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose in the secondary cell walls of angiosperms and contributes significantly to the properties of wood as raw materials. Despite this, very little is known about the biosynthesis of hemicellulose. READ MORE

15. Regulation of embryo development in Norway spruce by WOX transcription factors
Abstract : In seed plants, the apical-basal axis of the plant body is established during early embryogenesis. Major regulatory genes of the apical-basal axis formation belong to the WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) gene family of transcription factors. READ MORE
