Plants, like other eukaryotes, rely on proteolysis to control the abundance of key regulatory
proteins and enzymes. Strikingly, genome-wide studies have revealed that the ubiquitin-26S …

Understanding the molecular underpinnings of evolutionary adaptations is a central focus of
modern evolutionary biology. Recent studies have uncovered a panoply of complex …

Human social interactions crucially depend on the ability to represent other agents' beliefs
even when these contradict our own beliefs, leading to the potentially complex problem of …

The mechanisms by which flowering plants choose their mating partners have interested
researchers for a long time. Recent findings on the molecular mechanisms of non-self …

The posttranslational addition of ubiquitin (Ub) helps control the half-life, localization, and
action of many intracellular plant proteins. A primary function is the degradation of …

Sexual reproduction in many flowering plants involves self-incompatibility (SI self-
incompatibility), which is one of the most important systems to prevent inbreeding. In many …

The importance of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to cellular regulation in eukaryotes has
become increasingly apparent during the last several years. This fact was formally …

Self-incompatibility in flowering plants prevents inbreeding and promotes outcrossing to
generate genetic diversity. In Solanaceae, a multiallelic gene, S-locus F-box (SLF), was …

We review and analyze the available literature on the frequency and distribution of self-
incompatibility (SI) among angiosperms and find that SI is reported in more than 100 families …

The gaseous plant hormone ethylene can trigger myriad physiological and morphological
responses in plants. While many ethylene signaling pathway components have been …
