Plants are subjected to a plethora of environmental cues that cause extreme losses to crop
productivity. Due to fluctuating environmental conditions, plants encounter difficulties in …

Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) are dynamic modular platforms that regulate myriad
biological processes through target-specific ubiquitylation. Our knowledge of this system …

Bark protects the tree against environmental insults. Here, we analyzed whether this
defensive strategy could be utilized to broadly enhance protection against colitis. As a proof …

Controlled perturbation of protein activity is essential to study protein function in cells and
living organisms. Small molecules that hijack the cellular protein ubiquitination machinery to …

Between the 1960s and 1980s, most life scientists focused their attention on studies of
nucleic acids and the translation of the coded information. Protein degradation was a …

Background The phytohormone auxin is critical for plant growth and orchestrates many
developmental processes.• Scope This review considers the complex array of mechanisms …

Cullin–RING complexes comprise the largest known class of ubiquitin ligases. Owing to the
great diversity of their substrate-receptor subunits, it is possible that there are hundreds of …

Hormones have been at the centre of plant physiology research for more than a century.
Research into plant hormones (phytohormones) has at times been considered as a rather …

▪ Abstract Much of plant physiology, growth, and development is controlled by the selective
removal of short-lived regulatory proteins. One important proteolytic pathway involves the …

Recent studies have revealed that a mild increase in environmental temperature stimulates
the growth of Arabidopsis seedlings by promoting biosynthesis of the plant hormone auxin …
