Arabinogalactan proteins: decoding the multifaceted roles in plant reproduction
Silva, Jessy; Moreira, Diana; Ferreira, Maria João; Pereira, Ana Marta; Pereira, Luís Gustavo; Coimbra, SílviaArabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are highly glycosylated cell wall proteins essential for plant growth and reproduction. AGPs are extensively decorated with arabinogalactan polysaccharides, composed primarily of arabinose and galactose, along with minor sugars such as glucuronic acid, fucose, and rhamnose.

Rodrigues, Francisca; Sousa, Bruno; Soares, Cristiano; Moreira, Diana; Pereira, Cláudia; Moutinho-Pereira, José; Cunha, Ana; Fidalgo, FernandaAbiotic stress combinations, such as high temperatures and soil/water salinization, severely threaten crop productivity worldwide. In this work, an integrative insight into the photosynthetic metabolism of tomato plants subjected to salt (100 mM NaCl) and/or heat (42 °C; 4 h/day) was performed. After three weeks, the stress combination led to more severe consequences on growth and photosynthetic pigments than t...
