Superoxide dismutase (SOD) genes encode a family of critical metalloenzymes that serve as a first line of defence against oxidative damage in plants. By converting the superoxide radical into less ...

Melatonin is emerging as a pivotal molecule in plant physiology, acting both as an antioxidant and a regulatory signal. Its capacity to mitigate oxidative stress plays a crucial role in protecting ...

Plants are increasingly encountering abiotic stressors, such as salinity, drought, heavy metals, microplastics, and various environmental contaminants, that ...

Scientists found that stabilizing stress granules suppresses the effects of ALS-causing mutations, correcting previous models that imply stress granules promote amyloid formation. Scientists from St.

The entire stress-strain curve can now be determined using nanoindentation with a flat-ended cylindrical punch and novel analysis of the resulting force-displacement data 1. Unlike pyramidal indenters ...
