Introduction Mitochondria are highly dynamic and essential organelles that play a central role in the metabolic and energetic functions of eukaryotic cells. They are best known for their involvement in ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation, which serves as the primary energy source for cellular processes. Beyond energy production, mitochondria participate in diverse metabolic pathways, including […]
Information “The ability of plants to adapt to their soil environment is critical for optimizing growth and development under diverse conditions (Schroeder et al., 2013). Among the myriad of regulatory mechanisms, protein kinases play a central role in translating environmental signals into physiological responses (Hardie, 1999). AGC1 kinases, a subgroup of the AGC family of

Introduction Plant cell walls are not simply rigid structures that provide shape and support; they are dynamic structures, and their cell wall dynamics serve as multifaceted interfaces playing a crucial role in plant defense (Somerville et al., 2004). Beyond their structural function, cell walls actively participate in sensing and responding to environmental challenges, including pathogen
How Do ER-Mitochondrial Communications in Plant Metabolism and Stress Adaptation operated? Introduction Plants face numerous challenges during their growth and development, including abiotic stresses like drought, salinity, and heat, as well as biotic stresses such as pathogen attacks. These stress factors impose significant metabolic and physiological burdens, requiring plants to activate complex adaptive mechanisms for

Introduction Plant microbiomes and nutrient metabolism interactions are essential for improving nutrient cycling and uptake, which supports sustainable agriculture. In soybeans (Glycine max), symbiotic microbes like Bradyrhizobium japonicum enable nitrogen fixation, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers (Göttfert and Krishnan, 2001). Additionally, sulfur-transforming microbes play a key role in providing plant-available sulfur, critical for amino
