Protein kinases are a conserved superfamily of proteins that play an essential role in signal transduction by attaching a phosphoryl group to serine,threonine,or tyrosine residues of a protein,hence converting them to...
The global population is expected to increase by 10 billion by 2050,the demand for food and water is also likely to increase.Several factors intensify the growing water scarcity,such as inefficient water use in the fo...

Bacterial wilt caused by the soil-borne plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating disease worldwide.Upon plant colonization,R.solanacearum replicates massively,causing plant wilting and death;collapsed in...
Phosphorylation is a reversible posttranslational modification that modulates the activities of numerous proteins.In plants,it is known that several mitochondrial proteins can be phosphory-lated,including enzymes of t...
Endocytosis and subsequent trafficking pathways are crucial for regulating the activity of plasma membrane-localized proteins. Depending on cellular and physiological conditions, the internalized cargoes are sorted at...
The cuticle is the outer physical barrier of aerial plant surfaces and an important interaction point between plants and the environment. Many environmental stresses affect cuticle formation, yet the regulatory pathwa...
Potassium (K^+) is one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth and development. K^+ uptake from environment and K^+ translocation in plants are conducted by K^+ channels and transporters. In this study,...
Dear Editor,Monoterpenes, together with sesquiterpenes, play varying roles in plant interactions with the environment depending on the organs in which they are produced; these compounds likely function to attract poll...
Although DNA methylation is known to play an important role in the silencing of transposable elements (TEs) and introduced transgenes, the mechanisms that generate DNA methylation-independent transcrip- tional silen...
Cytosolic chaperones are involved in the regulation of cellular protein homeostasis in general. Members of the families of heat stress proteins 70 (Hsp70) and 90 (Hsp90) assist the transport of preproteins to orga...
