Evolution of plant δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductases from phylogenetic and structural perspectives

Proline plays a crucial role in cell growth and stress responses, and its accumulation is essential for the tolerance of adverse environmental conditions in plants. Two routes are used to biosynthesize proline in plants. The main route uses glutamate as a precursor, while in the other route proline...
