The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is a retrograde, ER-to-nucleus, signalling pathway which is conserved across kingdoms. In plants, it contributes to development, reproduction, immunity and tolerance to abiotic stress. This lipidomic dataset was produced from Arabidopsis thaliana mature seeds. ...
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an herbaceous annual crop of the amaranth family (Amaranthaceae). It is increasingly cultivated for its nutritious grains, which are rich in protein and essential amino acids, lipids, and minerals. Quinoa exhibits a high tolerance towards various abi...
During seed imbibition, lipids are engaged in membrane reorganization while facing free radical-mediated oxidative injury. In the present work, we explored changes in lipid components at different timepoints of imbibition (0.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h) in the legume Medicago truncatula, by combining bio...
Seed aging leads to reduced germination rates and vigor, particularly under stress conditions. We subjected aged maize seeds to 40 seconds of ultrasonic treatment, which enhanced their vigor and tolerance to combined stress. The ultrasonic treatment increased more cracks and holes in the seed coa...
Polygonatum sibiricum Red. (P. sibiricum) seeds exhibit strong dormancy, which prolongs germination period, reduces germination rate, and thus hinders its production. Research on breaking seed dormancy via optimized sand storage and clarifying germination-related mechanisms is insufficient. This ...
Background: Faba bean seeds are nutrient-dense, serving as a vital plant-based protein source for food and vegetables. However, the metabolic accumulation and transcriptional regulatory networks during seed development remain poorly understood.
Results: Metabolomic analysis of two developme...
BACKGROUND: Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) has high nutritional quality, with edible grain and leaves, and many agronomic advantages, making it a promising part of the solution for global food insecurity. However, we lack comprehensive metabolomic and genome sequence data fo...
