Protein palmitoylation refers to the posttranslational addition of a 16 carbon fatty acid to the
side chain of cysteine, forming a thioester linkage. This acyl modification is readily …

Pollen tubes elongate within the pistil to transport sperms to the female gametophytes for
fertilization. Pollen tubes grow at their tips through a rapid and polarized cell growth process …

Drought is a major environmental factor limiting wheat production worldwide. However, the
genetic components underlying wheat drought tolerance are largely unknown. Here, we …

Roots hairs are cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells that are important for
acquisition of nutrients, microbe interactions, and plant anchorage. The molecular …

Drought is a major abiotic stress that threatens maize production globally. A previous
genome‐wide association study identified a significant association between the natural …

Arabidopsis thaliana calcineurin B–like proteins (CBLs) interact specifically with a group of
CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs). CBL/CIPK complexes phosphorylate target …

The recurrent repeats having conserved stretches of amino acids exists across all domains
of life. Subsequent repetition of single sequence motif and the number and length of the …

The exocyst is a hetero‐oligomeric protein complex involved in exocytosis and has been
extensively studied in yeast and animal cells. Evidence is now accumulating that the exocyst …

Remorins are plant-specific membrane-associated proteins and were proposed to play
crucial roles in plant–pathogen interactions. However, little is known about how pathogens …

Protein palmitoylation is the most common posttranslational lipid modification; its reversibility
mediates protein shuttling between intracellular compartments. A large family of DHHC (Asp …
