The Caribbean Basin has complex biogeographical and cultural histories that have shaped its highly diverse botanical and cultural landscapes. As a result, the current ethnic composition of the Basin is a heterogeneous mixture including Amerindian, Afrocaribbean and a wide range…

NAC proteins constitute one of the largest groups of plant-specific transcription factors and are known to play essential roles in various developmental processes. They are also important in plant responses to stresses such as drought, soil salinity, cold, and heat,…

Knowledge on the biosynthetic pathways of the monoter­pene alkaloids is enormous, but little is known about their mechanism of transporting system from the plant cell. There is not concrete evi­dence confirming the role of ABC transporters in the secretion of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) in Catharanthus roseus. There­fore, in order to determine the role of different transporting systemsinvolved in the MIAs translocation, we employed…
