Because of their high level of diversity and complex evolutionary histories, most studies on
plant receptor-like kinase subfamilies have focused on their kinase domains. With the large …

The protein ubiquitin is a covalent modifier of proteins, including itself. The ubiquitin system
encompasses the enzymes required for catalysing attachment of ubiquitin to substrates as …

Background: Rice is the main staple food for the global population and drought is one of the
limited factor in rice production. In this research, progeny of a cross between an adapted US …

Innate immune responses are triggered by the activation of pattern-recognition receptors
(PRRs). The Arabidopsis PRR FLAGELLIN-SENSING 2 (FLS2) senses bacterial flagellin …

▪ Abstract Much of plant physiology, growth, and development is controlled by the selective
removal of short-lived regulatory proteins. One important proteolytic pathway involves the …

Plant growth and development is largely influenced by ubiquitin-mediated regulation of
protein stability. Specificity of the ubiquitination pathway is controlled mainly by the substrate …

The importance of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to cellular regulation in eukaryotes has
become increasingly apparent during the last several years. This fact was formally …

Plants use a repertoire of methods to control the level and activity of their constituent
proteins. One method, whose prominence is only now being appreciated, is selective protein …

The rice (Oryza sativa) spotted leaf11 (spl11) mutant was identified from an ethyl
methanesulfonate–mutagenized indica cultivar IR68 population and was previously shown …

Posttranslational modifications add complexity and diversity to cellular proteomes. One of
the most prevalent modifications across eukaryotes is ubiquitination, which is orchestrated …
