Plant genomes encode hundreds of proteases, which represent dozens of unrelated
families. The biological role of these proteases is mostly unknown, but mutant alleles, gene …

Proteolytic enzymes are intricately involved in many aspects of plant physiology and
development. On the one hand, they are necessary for protein turnover. Degradation of …

Brassinosteroids regulate plant growth and development through a protein complex that
includes the leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase (LRR-RLK) brassinosteroid …

Abstract The Arabidopsis BAK1 (BRI1 Associated receptor Kinase 1) was identified by a
yeast two-hybrid screen as a specific interactor for BRI1, a critical component of a membrane …

Brassinosteroids are essential phytohormones that have crucial roles in plant growth and
development. Perception of brassinosteroids requires an active complex of …

Grain size is a dominant component of grain weight in cereals. Earlier studies have shown
that OsGS5 plays a major role in regulating both grain size and weight in rice via promotion …

We have developed a new T-DNA vector, pGA2715, which can be used for promoter
trapping and activation tagging of rice (Oryza sativa) genes. The binary vector contains the …

Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR) catalyzes the penultimate step in monolignol biosynthesis.
We show that downregulation of CCR in transgenic poplar (Populus tremula× Populus alba) …

Plants live under different biotic and abiotic stress conditions, and, to cope with the adversity
and severity, plants have well-developed resistance mechanisms. The mechanism starts …

Little is known of how plant disease resistance (R) proteins recognize pathogens and
activate plant defenses. Rcr3 is specifically required for the function of Cf-2, a Lycopersicon …
