Helicases and translocases comprise one of the largest and highly conserved gene families
in eukaryotic organisms, including plant. Members of this gene family are involved in a …

Drought stress inhibits rice growth and biomass accumulation. To identify novel regulators of
drought-stress responses in rice, we conducted a proteome-level study of the stress …

S-type cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS-S) is the largest group among the three major types
of CMS in maize. CMS-S exhibits fertility instability as a partial fertility restoration in a specific …

Mitochondrial genomes of land plants are large and exhibit a complex mode of gene
organization and expression, particularly at the post-transcriptional level. The primary …

LONP1 is the principal AAA+ unfoldase and bulk protease in the mitochondrial matrix, so its
deletion causes embryonic lethality. The AAA+ unfoldase CLPX and the peptidase CLPP …

The nonstructural protein NSs, encoded by the S RNA of groundnut bud necrosis virus
(GBNV)(genus Tospovirus, family Bunyaviridae) has earlier been shown to possess nucleic …

Micro-exons are a kind of exons with lengths no more than 51 nucleotides. They are
generally ignored in genome annotation due to the short length, whereas recent studies …
