Autophagy is classified into macro-autophagy and micro-autophagy. Two major types of autophagy in the complex eukaryotic organism are microautophagy and macroautophagy. During microautophagy, cytoplasmic components that need to be degraded are taken up by lysosomes in animals and by vacuole in yeast and plants via the invagination of tonoplast.

Article Synopsis
- Soil texture significantly impacts arsenic (As) behavior in soil and how it affects sunflower growth.
- Two experiments tested different levels of As in sandy, loamy, and clayey soils, finding that NHCl-extractable As was the most available for plants.
- Increased levels of As led to higher malondialdehyde production (a stress marker) and reduced photosynthetic rates and yield in sunflowers, with sandy soils showing the most severe effects.
- Antioxidant enzyme activities increased with As presence, peaking at 150 mg/kg, indicating a stress response, and overall, sandy soils were the most affected by As toxicity.
