Regulation of nutrient recycling via autophagy

What is it about?

The control of autophagic activity by the nutrient and energy status of the cell is supported by several studies in plant and animal. We review how autophagy contributes to nutrient management in plants and how nutrient status control this degradation pathway for adaptation to the environment.

Why is it important?

Autophagy machinery plays a crucial role in plant performance and resistance to stresses and in Yield and nitrogen management. Increasing our knowledge about autophagy regulation in plants will help increasing plant performances.
