Plant non-specific lipid-transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins present in
abundance in higher plants. They are involved in key processes of plant cytology, such as …

The apoplast comprises the intercellular space, the cell walls, and the xylem. Important
functions for the plant, such as nutrient and water transport, cellulose synthesis, and the …

Plant secretomics is a newly emerging area of the plant proteomics field. It basically
describes the global study of secreted proteins into the extracellular space of plant cell or …

The role of MtCEP1, a member of the CEP (C-terminally encoded peptide) signaling peptide
family, was examined in Medicago truncatula root development. MtCEP1 was expressed in …

The plant cuticle consists of cutin, a polyester of glycerol, hydroxyl, and epoxy fatty acids,
covered and filled by waxes. While the biosynthesis of cutin building blocks is well …

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii starch-less mutant, BAF-J5, was found to store lipids up to
65% of dry cell weight when grown photoheterotrophically and subjected to nitrogen …

The penetration of substances from the surface to deep inside plant tissues is called
infiltration. Although various plant tissues may be effectively saturated with externally …

Plant pathogens have evolved by developing different strategies to infect their host, which in
turn have elaborated immune responses to counter the pathogen invasion. The apoplast …

Abstract C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDEs (CEPs) control root system architecture in a
non-cell-autonomous manner. In Medicago truncatula, MtCEP1 affects root development by …

Multigene families encoding diverse secreted peptide hormones play important roles in
plant development. A need exists to efficiently elucidate the structures and post-translational …
