Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recycle intracellular constituents, which
are essential for developmental and metabolic transitions; for efficient nutrient reuse; and for …

The year of 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of C de Duve's coining of the term
“autophagy” for the degradation process of cytoplasmic constituents in the …

Plants encounter a variety of stresses and must fine-tune their growth and stress-response
programs to best suit their environment. BES1 functions as a master regulator in the …

It has been known for many decades that autophagy, a conserved lysosomal degradation
pathway, is highly active during differentiation and development. However, until the …

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 …

Leaf senescence is an essential developmental process that impacts dramatically on crop
yields and involves altered regulation of thousands of genes and many metabolic and …

Autophagy is an intracellular process that facilitates the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic
materials by the vacuole or lysosome in eukaryotes. This conserved process is achieved …

Autophagy is the major cellular pathway for the degradation of long-lived proteins and
cytoplasmic organelles. It involves the rearrangement of subcellular membranes to …

Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular degradation process in which portions of cytosol
and organelles are sequestered into a double-membrane vesicle, an autophagosome, and …

At birth the trans-placental nutrient supply is suddenly interrupted, and neonates face severe
starvation until supply can be restored through milk nutrients. Here, we show that neonates …
