Since its discovery in the late 1970s, the ubiquitin proteasome pathway appears to be
omnipresent in many research fields. Although originally discovered in animals, the pathway …

The use of alkaline salt lands for crop production is hindered by a scarcity of knowledge and
breeding efforts for plant alkaline tolerance. Through genome association analysis of …

Aphids transmit viruses and are destructive crop pests. Plants that have been attacked by
aphids release volatile compounds to elicit airborne defence (AD) in neighbouring plants …

Crop breeding aims to balance disease resistance with yield; however, single resistance (R)
genes can lead to resistance breakdown, and R gene pyramiding may affect growth fitness …

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is one of the most commonly used genetic
transformation method that involves transfer of foreign genes into target plants …

In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), breeding efforts have focused intensively on improving grain
yield and quality. For quality, the content and composition of seed storage proteins (SSPs) …

Cold stress is a major environmental factor that limits plant growth and development. The C-
repeat-binding factor (CBF)-dependent cold signaling pathway is extensively studied in …

It is an apparent conundrum how plants evolved effector-triggered immunity (ETI), involving
programmed cell death (PCD), as a major defence mechanism against biotrophic …

Ubiquitination modulates protein turnover or activity depending on the number and location
of attached ubiquitin (Ub) moieties. Proteins marked by a lysine 48 (K48)–linked …

Perception of pathogenic effectors in plants often relies on nucleotide-binding domain (NBS)
and leucine-rich-repeat-containing (NLR) proteins. Some NLRs contain additional domains …
