Peptides fulfill a plethora of functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
They act as key components of cell-to-cell communication, interfere with signaling and …

Because they are tethered in space, plants have to make the most of their local growth
environment. In order to grow in an ever‐changing environment, plants constantly remodel …

Posttranslational modifications (PTM s) of proteins greatly expand proteome diversity,
increase functionality, and allow for rapid responses, all at relatively low costs for the cell …

When plants emerged from their aquatic origins to colonise land, they needed to avoid
desiccation while still enabling gas and water exchange with the environment. The solution …

Stomata are produced by a controlled series of epidermal cell divisions. The molecular
underpinnings of this process are becoming well understood, but mechanisms that …

During seed development, carbon is reallocated from maternal tissues to support
germination and subsequent growth. As this pool of resources is depleted post-germination …

Drought is an abiotic stress that affects growth, development and productivity of plants.
Peptides play key roles in plant growth and development, acting in a similar manner as …

Stomata, small hydromechanical valves in the leaf epidermis, are fundamental in regulating
gas exchange and water loss between plants and the environment. Stomatal development …

This review focuses on plant peptides involved in defense against pathogen infection and
those involved in the regulation of growth and development. Defense peptides, defensins …

Secreted peptides mediate intercellular communication [1, 2]. Several secreted peptides in
the EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR-LIKE (EPFL) family regulate morphogenesis of …
