Heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s) are steadily gaining more attention in the field of plant
biotic interactions. Though their regulation and activity in plants are much less well …

Protein homeostasis is epitomized by an equilibrium between protein biosynthesis and
degradation: the 'life and death'of proteins. Approximately one-third of newly synthesized …

Composting is an efficient way of disposing agricultural solid wastes as well as passivating
heavy metals (HMs). Herein, equivalent (3%) biochar (BC) or lime (LM) were applied in rice …

Chloroplasts are the site of numerous biochemical reactions including photosynthesis, but
they also produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that negatively affect chloroplast integrity …

Global climate change has great impacts on plant growth and development, reducing crop
productivity worldwide. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), one of the world's most important food crops …

In humans, aggregation of polyglutamine repeat (polyQ) proteins causes disorders such as
Huntington's disease. Although plants express hundreds of polyQ-containing proteins, no …

Grain chalkiness, an undesirable trait caused by complex factors, has great negative
impacts on the quality and economic value of rice. However, little is known about the …

The production of therapeutic and industrial recombinant proteins in plants has advantages
over established bacterial and mammalian systems in terms of cost, scalability, growth …

Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is a dynamic balance of protein synthesis and
degradation. Because of the endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts and the massive transfer of …

Chloroplasts are plant organelles responsible for photosynthesis and environmental
sensing. Most chloroplast proteins are imported from the cytosol through the translocon at …
