Since the discovery of Systemin in tomatoes in 1991, many additional peptide hormones have been discovered in plants. Plant peptide hormones typically start as small precursor pro- teins (-100a.a.), which include N-...
Dear Editor, It is well established that local intercellular signaling net- works control cell identity and activity. Secreted peptides have been found to play a central role in this capacity in plants (Matsubayashi...
The CLE (CLVATA3/ESR-related) family of plant polypeptide signaling molecules shares a conserved 14-aminoacid (aa) motif, designated the CLE motif, which recent studies suggest is sufficient for CLE function in vi...
