The delivery of sperm cells via tip‐growing pollen tubes is an innovation of seed plants and
shows the importance of pollen tubes for reproduction and their specific growth kinetics. Fast …

In all eukaryotes the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has a central role in protein folding and
maturation of secretory and membrane proteins. Upon translocation into the ER …

In plant innate immunity, the surface‐exposed leucine‐rich repeat receptor kinases EFR and
FLS2 mediate recognition of the bacterial pathogen‐associated molecular patterns EF‐Tu …

Atg8 is a central protein in bulk starvation–induced autophagy, but it is also specifically
associated with multiple protein targets under various physiological conditions to regulate …

GTPases of the Rab1 subclass are essential for membrane traffic between the endoplasmic
reticulum (ER) and Golgi complex in animals, fungi and plants. Rab1-related proteins in …

Many plant species grow extrafloral nectaries and produce nectar to attract carnivore
arthropods as defenders against herbivores. Two nectary types that evolved with Populus …

The N-terminal proline-rich domain of γ-zein (Zera) plays an important role in protein body
(PB) formation not only in the original host (maize seeds) but in a broad spectrum of …

Assessment of gene function generally requires knowledge of the sites of action of gene
products. Several experimental approaches can provide relevant information, but all have …

• Premise of the study: The cyclotide kalata B1 is found in the leaves of Oldenlandia affinis
and is a potent insecticidal and nematocidal molecule. This peptide is cleaved from a …

The albumin and globulin seed storage proteins present in all plants accumulate in storage
vacuoles. Prolamins, which are the major proteins in cereal seeds and are present only …
