Key message We review the current knowledge regarding the regulation of zein storage
proteins biosynthesis and protein body formation, which are crucial processes for the …

Seed storage proteins (SSPs) are of great importance in plant science and agriculture,
particularly in cereal crops, due to their nutritional value and their impact on food properties …

Mitochondria are semi‐autonomous organelles that are the powerhouse of the cells. Plant
mitochondrial RNA editing guided by pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins is essential for …

The molecular machinery orchestrating microautophagy, whereby eukaryotic cells sequester
autophagic cargo by direct invagination of the vacuolar/lysosomal membrane, is still largely …

We investigate the myosin XI-driven transport network in Arabidopsis using protein–protein
interaction, subcellular localization, gene knockout, and bioinformatics analyses. The two …

Ethanol protocol, two-step protocol and enzymatic extraction were used to extract prolamins
from seven kidney beans (P. vulgaris L.) compared with Osborne protocol. 70–80%(v/v) …

During adaptive radiation, mitochondria have co-evolved with their hosts, leading to gain or
loss of subunits and assembly factors of respiratory complexes. Plant mitochondrial complex …

Momordica charantia seeds contain a galactose specific lectin and mixture of glycosidases.
These bind to lectin-affigel at pH 5.0 and are all eluted at pH 8.0. From the mixture, α …

Rerouting the starch biosynthesis pathway in maize can generate specialty types, like sweet
corn and waxy corn, with a drastically increasing global demand. Hence, a fine-tuning of …

Seed germination is critical for plant survival and agricultural production and is affected by
many cues, including internal factors and external environmental conditions. As a key …
