MicroRNA408 (miR408) is an ancient and highly conserved miRNA, which is involved in the
regulation of plant growth, development and stress response. However, previous research …

Increasing grain yield is the most important object of crop breeding. Here, we report that the
elevated expression of a conserved microRNA, OsmiR408, could positively regulate grain …

Publisher Summary This chapter introduces the blue copper-binding (BCB) domain-
containing proteins based on the analysis of the genomic and expressed sequence tag …

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their membrane-associated ligands, the ephrins, are
essential regulators of axon guidance, cell migration, segmentation, and angiogenesis …

Verticillium wilt (VW), a fungal disease caused by Verticillium dahliae, currently devastates
cotton fiber yield and quality seriously, yet few resistance germplasm resources have been …

Background Phytocyanins (PCs) are plant-specific blue copper proteins involved in electron
transport, and a large number of known PCs are considered to be chimeric arabinogalactan …

Early nodulin-like proteins (ENODLs) are chimeric arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) related
to the phytocyanin family. Although they show similarities with other phytocyanins, they lack …

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are a family of extracellular plant proteoglycans implicated
in many aspects of plant growth and development, including in vitro somatic embryogenesis …

As a great economic Solanum with ornamental value and good adaptability, Solanum
aculeatissimum is considered an excellent candidate for the phytoremediation of Cadmium …

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are highly glycosylated extracellular glycoproteins playing
important roles in plant growth and development. We have previously reported the …
