Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

As a major site of protein biosynthesis, homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum is critical
for cell viability. Asparagine linked glycosylation of newly synthesized proteins by the …

The Arabidopsis receptor kinase FERONIA (FER) is a multifunctional regulator for plant
growth and reproduction. Here we report that the female gametophyte-expressed …

Asparagine-linked glycans (N-glycans) are displayed on the majority of proteins synthesized
in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Removal of the outermost glucose residue recruits the …

Water is the most limiting resource on land for plant growth, and its uptake by plants is
affected by many abiotic stresses, such as salinity, cold, heat, and drought. While much …

The plant immune system perceives a diversity of carbohydrate ligands from plant and
microbial cell walls through the extracellular ectodomains (ECDs) of pattern recognition …

Lectins are fundamental to plant life and have important roles in cell-to-cell communication;
development and defence strategies. At the cell surface; lectins are present both as soluble …

The biophysical rules that govern folding of small, single‐domain proteins in dilute solutions
are now quite well understood. The mechanisms underlying co‐translational folding of …

Asparagine linked glycosylation of proteins is an essential protein modification reaction in
most eukaryotic organisms. N-linked oligosaccharides are important for protein folding and …

Communication between the extracellular matrix and the cell interior is essential for all
organisms as intrinsic and extrinsic cues have to be integrated to co-ordinate development …
