Most chloroplast proteins are encoded in the nucleus and synthesized on free, cytosolic
ribosomes in precursor form. Each precursor has an amino‐terminal extension called a …

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins enable fast modulation of protein function
in response to metabolic and environmental changes. Phosphorylation is known to play a …

T2-type RNases are responsible for self-pollen recognition and rejection in three distantly
related families of flowering plants—the Solanaceae, Scrophulariaceae, and Rosaceae. We …

To determine the role of α-amylase isoform I-1 in the degradation of starch in rice leaf
chloroplasts, we generated a series of transgenic rice plants with suppressed expression or …

The well-characterized secretory glycoprotein, rice (Oryza sativa) α-amylase isoform I-1
(AmyI-1), was localized within the plastids and proved to be involved in the degradation of …

Plant cells have two distinct types of energy-converting organelles: plastids and
mitochondria. These organelles have their own DNAs and are regarded as descendants of …

A growing number of T2/S-RNases are being discovered in plant genomes. Members of this
protein family have a variety of known functions, but the vast majority are still …

Lectin affinity chromatography (LAC) can provide a valuable front-end enrichment strategy
for the study of N-glycoproteins and has been used to characterize a broad range eukaryotic …

This review recapitulates the history, important milestones, the current status, and the
perspectives of the pea (Pisum sativum L.) transformation as a tool for pea crop breeding. It …

Background Glycosylation of proteins is the most common, multifaceted co-and post-
translational modification responsible for many biological processes and cellular functions …
