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 …

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 …

Petunia hybrida is a popular bedding plant that has a long history as a genetic model
system. We report the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of inbred derivatives of its …

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 …

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 …

Since its discovery in the late 1970s, the ubiquitin proteasome pathway appears to be
omnipresent in many research fields. Although originally discovered in animals, the pathway …

Abstract Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench; 2 n= 2 x= 16) is a nutritionally dense
annual crop widely grown in temperate zones. To accelerate molecular breeding …

Self-incompatibility (SI) in angiosperms prevents inbreeding and promotes outcrossing to
generate genetic diversity. In many angiosperms, self/non-self recognition in SI is …

Background S-RNase-based self-incompatibility (SI) occurs in the Solanaceae, Rosaceae
and Plantaginaceae. In all three families, compatibility is controlled by a polymorphic S …

Most Prunus fruit tree species exhibit a homomorphic gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI)
system, in which specificity of self/nonself-recognition is controlled by products encoded …
