Starch degradation

Article Abstract:

New information about the pathway of starch degradation in Arabidopsis leaves at night is discussed and they are used to reassess the understanding of starch degradation in other plant organs. In some starch-storing organs in which starch is a major, long-term reserve compound, the pathway of degradations different and such differences are probably related to the different subcellular locations in which the process is believed to occur.

The role of root exudates in rhizosphere interactions with plants and other organisms

Article Abstract:

The advances in elucidating the role of root exudates in interactions between plant roots and other plants, microbes and nematodes present in the rhizosphere are described. Interactions between different positive and negative plant-plant and plant-microbe interactions are highlighted and described from the molecular scale to the ecosystem scale.

Understanding the functions of plant disease resistance proteins

Article Abstract:

It is argued that disease resistance (R) proteins of plants have the ability to detect the presence of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, or fungi by recognizing specific pathogen effectors molecules that are produced during the infection process. An investigation of the role of R proteins in plant disease resistance is carried out.
