Understanding the precise regulatory mechanisms of plant development and stress
responses at the post-translational level is currently a topic of intensive research. Protein …

Since its discovery in the late 1970s, the ubiquitin proteasome pathway appears to be
omnipresent in many research fields. Although originally discovered in animals, the pathway …

Plant height is a key agronomic trait that affects yield and is controlled by both
phytohormone gibberellin (GA) and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation. However, whether and …

A rice tiller is a specialized grain-bearing branch that contributes greatly to grain yield. The
MONOCULM 1 (MOC1) gene is the first identified key regulator controlling rice tiller number; …

Summary The Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), a member of the Rhamnaceae family,
is an important perennial fruit tree crop of substantial economic, ecological and nutritional …

Seed development is a complex process that requires coordinated integration of many
genetic, metabolic, and physiological pathways and environmental cues. Different cell cycle …

The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) represents a large multisubunit E3-
ubiquitin ligase complex that controls the unidirectional progression through the cell cycle by …

Fertilization of flowering plants requires the organization of complex tasks, many of which
become integrated by the female gametophyte (FG). The FG is a few-celled haploid structure …

The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a large multiprotein E3 ubiquitin
ligase involved in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of key cell cycle regulatory proteins …

Temporal controlled degradation of key cell division proteins ensures a correct onset of the
different cell cycle phases and exit from the cell division program. In light of the cell cycle, the …
