Proteins are intimately involved in executing and controlling virtually all cellular processes.
To understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie plant phenotypes, it is essential to …

The proteome, or collection of proteoforms expressed in a biological system, is dynamic and
heterogeneous. As our appreciation for the complexity of the proteome has evolved, so have …

Proteins carry out the vast majority of functions in all biological domains, but for
technological reasons their large-scale investigation has lagged behind the study of …

Lysosomes are key degradative compartments of the cell. Transport to lysosomes relies on
GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase–mediated tagging of soluble enzymes with mannose 6 …

Covering: up to 2018 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been known for well over three
decades as crucial mediators of the innate immune response in animals and plants, where …

Growing evidence indicates that small, secreted peptides (SSPs) play critical roles in
legume growth and development, yet the annotation of SSP-coding genes is far from …

Pear is an important fruit tree that is widely distributed around the world. The first pear
genome map was reported from our laboratory approximately 10 years ago. To further study …

Symbiotic interactions between legumes and rhizobia lead to the development of root
nodules and nitrogen fixation by differentiated bacteroids within nodules. Differentiation of …

The rhizobium–legume symbiosis is a major source of fixed nitrogen (ammonia) in the
biosphere. The potential for this process to increase agricultural yield while reducing the …

Nodulation process in legume plants is essential for biological nitrogen fixation during which
process a large amount of phosphorus (P) is required. Under P deficiency, nodule formation …
