To deal with increasingly severe periods of dehydration related to global climate change, it
becomes increasingly important to understand the complex strategies many organisms have …

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are highly abundant in eukaryotic proteomes. Plant
IDPs play critical roles in plant biology and often act as integrators of signals from multiple …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are hydrophilic, mostly intrinsically disordered
proteins, which play major roles in desiccation tolerance. In Arabidopsis thaliana, 51 genes …

Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins, a group of hydrophilic proteins, have been
linked to survival in plants and animals in periods of stress, putatively through safeguarding …

Seed longevity is a polygenic trait of relevance for agriculture and for understanding the
effect of environment on the ageing of biological systems. In order to identify novel longevity …

Oviparously developing embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia, arrest at gastrulation and are
released from females as cysts before entering diapause, a state of dormancy and stress …

Abstract Background Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a fatal vector-borne parasitic disorder
occurring mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. VL falls under the category of neglected …

Intrinsically disordered proteins and regions typically lack a well-defined structure and thus
fall outside the scope of the classic sequence–structure–function relationship. Hence …

Investigating how plants cope with different abiotic stresses—mainly drought and extreme
temperatures—is pivotal for both understanding the underlying signaling pathways and …

This review compares the molecular strategies employed by anhydrobiotic invertebrates to
survive extreme water stress. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play a central role in …
