“…Recently, in plants, in addition to above-mentioned functions, Glu is found to emerge as a novel signaling role in many physiological processes. These processes include seed germination (Kong et al, 2015), root architecture (Forde, 2014;López-Bucio et al, 2019), pollen germination and pollen tube growth (Michard et al, 2011;Wudick et al, 2018), wound response and pathogen resistance (Manzoor et al, 2013;Mousavi et al, 2013;Nguyen et al, 2018;Toyota et al, 2018;Jin et al, 2019), and response and adaptation to abiotic stress (Cheng et al, 2018;Zheng et al, 2018;Li H. et al, 2019;Philippe et al, 2019). In addition, Glu can act as a long-distance signaling transducer among cells, tissues, organs, and even the whole plants by the crosstalk with Ca 2+ , ROS, and electrical signaling (Mousavi et al, 2013;Nguyen et al, 2018;Toyota et al, 2018).…”
