All eukaryotic organisms have evolved sophisticated immune systems to appropriately
respond to biotic stresses. In plants and animals, a key part of this immune system is pattern …

Protein kinases are major players in various signal transduction pathways. Understanding
the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses has …

Since the first half of the twentieth century, evolutionary theory has been dominated by the
idea that mutations occur randomly with respect to their consequences. Here we test this …

Networks are powerful tools to uncover functional roles of genes in phenotypic variation at a
system-wide scale. Here, we constructed a maize network map that contains the genomic …

Paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins, is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of
molecular biology, paleontology, archaeology, paleoecology, and history. Paleoproteomics …

Catalase (CAT) is an extensively studied if somewhat enigmatic enzyme that is at the heart
of eukaryotic antioxidant systems with a canonical role in peroxisomal function. The CAT …

A plethora of software suites and multiple classes of spectral libraries have been developed
to enhance the depth and robustness of data-independent acquisition (DIA) data …

Plant secondary cell-wall (SCW) deposition and lignification are affected by both seasonal
factors and abiotic stress, and these responses may involve the hormone abscisic acid …

Multi-omics approaches have become a reality in both large genomics projects and small
laboratories. However, the multi-omics research community still faces a number of issues …

Targeted engineering of plant gene expression holds great promise for ensuring food
security and for producing biopharmaceuticals in plants. However, this engineering requires …
