Programmed cell death (PCD) is a collective term for diverse processes causing an actively
induced, tightly controlled cellular suicide. PCD has a multitude of functions in the …

Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCP) are prominent peptidases found in most living
organisms. In plants, PLCPs was divided into nine subgroups based on functional and …

Programmed cell death is characterized by a cascade of tightly controlled events that
culminate in the orchestrated death of the cell. In multicellular organisms autophagy and …

Background The root cap is a plant organ that ensheathes the meristematic stem cells at the
root tip. Unlike other plant organs, the root cap shows a rapid cellular turnover, balancing …

Abstract The Bcl-2-associated athanogene (BAG) family is an evolutionarily conserved
group of cochaperones that modulate numerous cellular processes. Previously we found …

Among angiosperms there is a high degree of variation in embryo/endosperm size in mature
seeds. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying size control …

Deployment of broad-spectrum disease resistance against multiple pathogen species is an
efficient way to control plant diseases. Here, we identify a M icrotubule-associated C4HC3 …

The effect of glycine betaine (GB) treatment on chilling injury (CI), cell membrane integrity
and membrane fatty acid metabolism in peach fruit during storage were investigated using …

Autophagy is a degradation pathway that is conserved throughout eukaryotic organisms and
plays important roles in the tolerance of abiotic and biotic stresses. It functions as a …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an ordered cell suicide that removes unwanted or
damaged cells, playing a role in defense to environmental stresses and pathogen invasion …
