Plant molecular farming (PMF) has been promoted as a fast, efficient and cost-effective
alternative to bacteria and animal cells for the production of biopharmaceutical proteins …

Plants and their use as bioreactors for the generation of recombinant proteins have become
one of the hottest topics in the field of Plant Biotechnology and Plant Synthetic Biology. Plant …

Plant defense responses to pathogens are induced after direct or indirect perception of
effector proteins or their activity on host proteins. In fungal–plant interactions, relatively little …

Host-controlled intracellular accommodation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria is essential for the
establishment of a functional Root Nodule Symbiosis (RNS). In many host plants, this occurs …

The copy number of a plasmid is linked to its functionality, yet there have been few attempts
to optimize higher-copy-number mutants for use across diverse origins of replication in …

Pyruvate is central to metabolism across biology. It acts as a metabolic hub linking major
pathways including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, fermentation, and synthesis of amino acids …

The RNA-silencing effector ARGONAUTE10 influences cell fate in plant shoot and floral
meristems. ARGONAUTE10 also accumulates in the root apical meristem (RAM), yet its …

Continuous research on obtaining an even more efficient production of very long-chain
polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs) in plants remains one of the main challenges of …

Phytocytokines regulate plant immunity by cooperating with cell surface proteins. Populus
trichocarpa RUST INDUCED SECRETED PEPTIDE 1 (PtRISP1) exhibits an elicitor activity in …

VQ1 and VQ10 are largely unstructured homologous proteins with a significant potential for
protein–protein interactions. Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) analysis confirmed that both proteins …
