Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) drive carotenoid catabolism to produce various
apocarotenoids and immediate derivatives with particular developmental, ecological, and …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars harbour morphological and physiological traits different from
those of wild rice (O. rufipogon Griff.), but the molecular mechanisms underlying …

Protein quality control (PQC) is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis by reducing
protein misfolding and aggregation. Major PQC mechanisms include protein refolding …

In order to defend against microbial infection, plants employ a complex immune system that
relies partly on resistance (R) proteins that initiate intricate signaling cascades upon …

LIM domain proteins were involved in organizing the cytoskeleton, adjusting the metabolism
and gene expression, some of them were specific express in pollen. LIM gene family in …

Plants defend themselves against pathogens by activating an array of immune responses.
