Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Developing strategies to improve plant Fe …

Micro RNA s (mi RNA s) are major post‐transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Their
biogenesis relies on the cleavage of longer precursors by a nuclear localized processing …

Plant pathogens deliver effector proteins that alter host processes to create an environment
conducive to colonization. Attention has focused on identifying the targets of effectors and …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed, single-stranded transcripts that are
ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotes and even prokaryotic archaea. Although once …

Due to their sessile lifestyle, plants can be exposed to several kinds of stresses that will
increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide …

The oligosaccharyltransferase (OT) complex catalyzes N‐glycosylation of nascent secretory
polypeptides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Despite their importance, little is …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play important roles in the protection of cells against
toxins and oxidative damage where one Arabidopsis member, GSTF8, has become a …

Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play pivotal roles in plant defense
against phytopathogens downstream of immune receptor complexes. The amplitude and …

Microarray expression profile analysis is a useful approach to increase our knowledge about
genes involved in regulatory networks and signal transduction pathways related to abiotic …

Seed development, dormancy, and germination are key physiological events that are not
only important for seed generation, survival, and dispersal, but also contribute to agricultural …
