For decades, the biological roles of plant lectins remained obscure and subject to
speculation. With the advent of technological and scientific progress, researchers have …

Glycosylation is an important protein modification in all eukaryotes. Whereas the early
asparagine-linked glycosylation (N-glycosylation) and N-glycan processing steps in the …

Key message F-box E3-ubiquitin ligases regulate critical biological processes in plant
development and stress responses. Future research could elucidate why and how plants …

The F-box domain containing proteins is one of the super protein families in Eukaryotic cells
including yeast, plant, and mammals. For example, the model plant Arabidopsis and …

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are central to the modulation of protein activity,
stability, subcellular localization, and interaction with partners. They greatly expand the …

Lectins constitute an abundant group of proteins that are present throughout the plant
kingdom. Only recently, genome-wide screenings have unraveled the multitude of different …

Abstract Background Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) is an economically
important crop that provides nearly one third of the global sugar production. The beet cyst …

Background F-box proteins are substrate-recognition components of the Skp1-Rbx1-Cul1-F-
box protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligases. By selectively targeting the key regulatory proteins or …

Leaf trichomes protect against various biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. However, there is
little knowledge about this trait in oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Here, we demonstrated that …

Lectins are present throughout the plant kingdom and are reported to be involved in diverse
biological processes. In this study, we provide a comparative analysis of the lectin families …
