Established in 1926, Plant Physiology® is an international journal devoted to physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, biophysics, and environmental biology of plants. Read more on the Plant Physiology website.
The availability of inorganic phosphate (Pi) often limits plant growth and crop productivity. The signaling mechanisms governing Pi starvation responses in plants include responses to external Pi concentrations…
The structure and biogenesis of the eukaryotic 80S ribosome are similar in all eukaryotes, as are the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and ribosomal proteins involved in these processes. The biogenesis of the 80S…
The plastids of Euglena gracilis, a freshwater photosynthetic flagellate, are embedded by three membranes. These membranes are an evolutionary vestige of the secondary endosymbiotic event that occurred …
Melatonin has diverse effects on plant growth and development and has been implicated in tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, freezing, and high temperature. The protective role of…
About 20% of irrigated land is considered saline, with the amount of saline soils increasing worldwide. This trend is alarming due to the high salt sensitivity of most crop species. Yield reduction in…
In land plants, water is lost primarily by transpiration through stomata. However, when the aerial tissues begin to dry, the stomata close, and transpiration, much reduced, occurs mostly from the apoplast…
The reproductive structures of the Asteraceae (the sunflower family), the largest family of flowering plants, are among the most complex within the flowering plants. The species in this family develop…
