Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to recycle intracellular constituents, which
are essential for developmental and metabolic transitions; for efficient nutrient reuse; and for …

NBR1 was discovered as an autophagy receptor not long after the first described vertebrate
autophagy receptor p62/SQSTM1. Since then, p62 has currently been mentioned in> 10,000 …

Phytopathogens like Pseudomonas syringae induce" water soaking" in the apoplastic space
of plant leaf tissue as a key virulence mechanism. Water soaking is commonly observed in …

Autophagy, as an intracellular degradation system, plays a critical role in plant immunity.
However, the involvement of autophagy in the plant immune system and its function in plant …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …

Protein homeostasis is epitomized by an equilibrium between protein biosynthesis and
degradation: the 'life and death'of proteins. Approximately one-third of newly synthesized …

All eukaryotes rely on selective proteolysis to control the abundance of key regulatory
proteins and maintain a healthy and properly functioning proteome. Most of this turnover is …

In nature, plants are constantly exposed to many transient, but recurring, stresses. Thus, to
complete their life cycles, plants require a dynamic balance between capacities to recover …

The 26S proteasome is the most complex ATP-dependent protease machinery, of~ 2.5 MDa
mass, ubiquitously found in all eukaryotes. It selectively degrades ubiquitin-conjugated …

In eukaryotes, autophagy helps maintain cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling
cytoplasmic materials via a tightly regulated pathway. Over the past few decades, significant …
