Centromeres are the genomic regions that organize and regulate chromosome behaviours
during cell cycle, and their variations are associated with genome instability, karyotype …

The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) represents a large multisubunit E3-
ubiquitin ligase complex that controls the unidirectional progression through the cell cycle by …

Nitrogen (N) deficiency causes early leaf senescence, resulting in accelerated whole-plant
maturation and severely reduced crop yield. However, the molecular mechanisms …

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins participate in diverse and tissue-specific
developmental processes by forming various corepressor complexes with different …

The human mitotic arrest-deficient 2 (Mad2) binding protein p31comet participates in the
spindle checkpoint and coordinates cell cycle events in mitosis although its function in …

The significance of heat stress in agriculture is ever-increasing with the progress of global
climate changes. Due to a negative effect on the yield of staple crops, including wheat, the …

Changes in ambient temperature immensely affect developmental programs in many
species. Plants adapt to high ambient growth temperature in part by vegetative and …

Most eukaryotic species propagate through sexual reproduction that requires male and
female gametes. In flowering plants, it starts through a single round of DNA replication (S …

Meiotic recombination ensures accurate homologous chromosome segregation during
meiosis and generates novel allelic combinations among gametes. During meiosis, DNA …

DNA replication stress threatens genome stability and affects plant growth and development.
How plants resolve replication stress is poorly understood. The protein kinase WEE1 …
