On the Inside: A Glucose-Dependent Feedback Loop Involved in Root Growth
Plant Physiology: On The InsideSucrose is the major source of carbon for plant cells, and consequently sucrose catabolism in plants is one of the largest metabolic fluxes in primary carbon assimilation. However, sucrose cannot be directly utilized in plants. Therefore, after arriving at a sink, sucrose must be hydrolyzed. In the…

On the Inside: Serine Hydrolases and Lipid Mobilization During Seed Germination
Plant Physiology: On The InsideDuring seed germination, lipolytic enzymes are involved in the mobilization of lipid reserves. In particular, the lipolytic activities of lipases and esterases play crucial roles in proper seedling growth and development. Lipases and esterases belong to the serine hydrolase (SH) superfamily. Established …
On the Inside: Cell Wall Acetylation
Plant Physiology: On The InsideIn plant cells, cellulose microfibrils make up the basic skeleton of the rigid cell wall while hemicellulose and pectin fill the space between cellulose microfibrils. Cell walls constitute the first wall in plant defense against pathogens and cell wall polysaccharides, and their acetylation status greatly…
On the Inside: Recovery from Drought Stress in Scots Pine
Plant Physiology: On The InsideTrees often do not die during a drought but may succumb weeks to years later. Drought-induced damage may persist by incomplete recovery of plant hydraulic and metabolic processes, making trees vulnerable to pests and pathogen attacks. In the case of conifers, which have no vessels and low levels of parenchyma…
