Oxidative stress is a cellular threat which puts at risk the productivity of most of crops valorized
by humankind in terms of food, feed, biomaterial, or bioenergy. It is therefore of crucial …

Bast fibres are long extraxylary cells which mechanically support the phloem and they are
divided into xylan- and gelatinous-type, depending on the composition of their secondary cell …

Abiotic constraints are a source of concern in agriculture, because they can have a strong
impact on plant growth and development, thereby affecting crop yield. The response of plants …

Cannabis sativa L. is an annual herbaceous crop grown for the production of long extraxylary
fibers, the bast fibers, rich in cellulose and used both in the textile and biocomposite sectors…

Aims: Leaf removal in the cluster-zone has proved to be an efficient option to reduce grey
mould infestation. The aim of the present work was to determine the optimal timing of this …

Monolignols are the building blocks for lignin polymerization in the apoplastic domain.
Monolignol biosynthesis, transport, storage, glycosylation, and deglycosylation are the main …

Manual horizontal cluster division may constitute an efficient tool to optimize wine composition.
To test this hypothesis and to determine the optimal timing of this viticultural practice, the …

Background The fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs) belong to the arabinogalactan
protein (AGP) superfamily and are known to play different physiological roles in plants. …

Simple Summary Phenylpropanoids are specialized metabolites playing crucial roles in
plant developmental processes and in plant defense towards pathogens. The attachment of …

Background Lignin and lignans are both derived from the monolignol pathway. Despite the
similarity of their building blocks, they fulfil different functions in planta. Lignin strengthens the …
