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 …

As sessile organisms, plants are exposed to constantly changing environments that are
often stressful for their growth and development. To cope with these stresses, plants have …

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth,
development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse …

Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are undoubtedly one of the most complex families of
macromolecules found in plants, perhaps matched only by the polyphenolics (lignins/cutins …

Arabinogalactan proteins is an umbrella term applied to a highly diverse class of cell surface
glycoproteins, many of which contain glycosylphosphatidylinositol lipid anchors. The …

In higher plants, class III peroxidases exist as large multigene families (eg 73 genes in
Arabidopsis thaliana). The diversity of processes catalysed by peroxidases as well as the …

Plants constantly renew during their life cycle and thus require to shed senescent and
damaged organs. Floral abscission is controlled by the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase …

Abscission consists in the detachment of entire vegetative and reproductive organs due to
cell separation processes occurring at the abscission zones (AZs) at specific positions of the …

To sustain plants' postembryonic growth and development in a structure of cells fixed in cell
walls, a tightly controlled short distance cell–cell communication is required. The focus on …

Abscission is a developmental program that results in the active shedding of infected or
nonfunctional organs from a plant body. Here, we establish a signaling pathway that controls …
