Genome-Wide Identification, Functional Analysis and Expression Profiling of the Aux/IAA Gene Family in Tomato [PDF]
Auxin is a central hormone that exerts pleiotropic effects on plant growth including the development of roots, shoots, flowers and fruit. The perception and signaling of the plant hormone auxin rely on the cooperative action of several components,among

Cellular mechanisms for cargo delivery and polarity maintenance at different polar domains in plant cells [PDF]
The asymmetric localization of proteins in the plasma membrane domains of eukaryotic cells is a fundamental manifestation of cell polarity that is central to multicellular organization and developmental patterning.

LIFEGUARD proteins support plant colonization by biotrophic powdery mildew fungi [PDF]
Pathogenic microbes manipulate eukaryotic cells during invasion and target plant proteins to achieve host susceptibility. BAX INHIBITOR-1 (BI-1) is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident cell death suppressor in plants and animals and is required for full ...

40S ribosome biogenesis co-factors are essential for gametophyte and embryo development [PDF]
Ribosome biogenesis is well described in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast only very little information is available on this pathway in plants. This study presents the characterization of five putative protein co-factors of ribosome biogenesis in ...

Plant TPX2 and related proteins [PDF]
At the onset of mitosis, microtubules form a bipolar spindle around the prophase nucleus. TPX2 is phosphorylated during mitosis and acts as a spindle assembly factor that nucleates microtubules in the close vicinity of chromosomes, independent of the centrosomes. Furthermore, it activates the kinase Aurora A and targets the Xenopus kinesin-like protein

On the evolution of decoys in plant immune systems
The Guard-Guardee model for plant immunity describes how resistance proteins (guards) in host cells monitor host target proteins (guardees) that are manipulated by pathogen effector proteins.

Biological control of apple scab and fire blight by the application of the non-pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens Bk3 to the leaf surface [PDF]
The biological control of plant diseases by application of antagonistic microorganisms to the plant phyllosphere is an alternative strategy to prevent the frequent treatment of plants by pesticides.

The Plant Short-Chain Dehydrogenase (SDR) superfamily:genome-wide inventory and diversification patterns [PDF]
Background Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) form one of the largest and oldest NAD(P)(H) dependent oxidoreductase families. Despite a conserved 'Rossmann-fold' structure, members of the SDR superfamily exhibit low sequence similarities, which

The pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa promotes differential proteomic modulation of cacao genotypes with contrasting resistance to witches´ broom disease [PDF]
Background: Witches' broom disease (WBD) of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa, is the most important limiting factor for the cacao production in Brazil.
