Identification of nuclear factor YA6 genes in sorghum and characterization of their involvement in drought tolerance [PDF]
Nuclear factor Y alpha proteins (NF-YAs) are conserved transcription factor proteins crucial to plant growth and development that exhibit specific responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Allele-specific virulence attenuation of the Pseudomonas syringae HopZ1a type III effector via the Arabidopsis ZAR1 resistance protein. [PDF]
Plant resistance (R) proteins provide a robust surveillance system to defend against potential pathogens. Despite their importance in plant innate immunity, relatively few of the approximately 170 R proteins in Arabidopsis have well-characterized ...

Plants have benefited from interactions with symbionts for coping with challenging environments since the colonisation of land. The mechanisms of symbiont-mediated beneficial effects and similarities and differences to pathogen strategies are mostly ...

Single-molecular quantification of flowering control proteins within nuclear condensates in live whole Arabidopsis root [PDF]
Here we describe the coupled standardisation of two complementary fluorescence imaging techniques and apply it to liquid-liquid phase separated condensates formed from an EGFP fluorescent reporter of Flowering Control Locus A (FCA), a protein that associates with chromosomal DNA in plants during epigenetic regulation of the flowering process. First, we

Signaling Mechanisms by Arabidopsis Cryptochromes
Cryptochromes (CRYs) are blue light photoreceptors that regulate growth, development, and metabolism in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), CRY1 and CRY2 possess partially redundant and overlapping functions.

Ubiquitin-related modifiers of Arabidopsis thaliana influence root development. [PDF]
Ubiquitins are small peptides that allow for posttranslational modification of proteins. Ubiquitin-related modifier (URM) proteins belong to the class of ubiquitin-like proteins. A primary function of URM proteins has been shown to be the sulfur transfer

Arabidopsis RanBP2-Type Zinc Finger Proteins Related to Chloroplast RNA Editing Factor OZ1
OZ1, an RNA editing factor that controls the editing of 14 cytidine targets in Arabidopsis chloroplasts, contains two RanBP2-type zinc finger (Znf) domains. The RanBP2 Znf is a C4-type member of the broader zinc finger family with unique functions and an

Plant SILAC: stable-isotope labelling with amino acids of arabidopsis seedlings for quantitative proteomics. [PDF]
Stable Isotope Labelling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) is a powerful technique for comparative quantitative proteomics, which has recently been applied to a number of different eukaryotic organisms.

Cell-Type-Specific Profiling of the Arabidopsis thaliana Membrane Protein-Encoding Genes
Membrane proteins work in large complexes to perceive and transduce external signals and to trigger a cellular response leading to the adaptation of the cells to their environment.

P-proteins in Arabidopsis are heteromeric structures involved in rapid sieve tube sealing
Structural phloem proteins (P-proteins) are characteristic components of the sieve elements in all dicotyledonous and many monocotyledonous angiosperms.
