All articles in Plants MDPI (ISSN 2223-7747) Vol 14, Issue 1, are now freely available to access, read and download: https://brnw.ch/21wQaWJ COVER STORY: The accumulation of free proline in plants has been associated with stress tolerance and, more recently, with plant development, especially in reproductive and elongating organs. Despite the correlation between proline effects and accumulation, the evidence suggests that proline metabolism, rather than proline itself, is the main cause of its multiple effects. However, the underlying mechanisms and the importance of these functions are still poorly understood. Based on the recently discovered interaction between proline metabolism and ROS signaling in modulating Arabidopsis root meristem size. Researchers from the Sapienza Università di Roma and Universität Konstanz propose that this interaction may be a possible mechanistic explanation for many of the functions attributed to proline, and they present a literature review to discuss and support this hypothesis.
