Signaling through the redox active molecule hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is important for several processes in plants, such as stomatal closure, root growth, gravitropism, and responses to pathogen challenge (Neill et al., 2002; Laloi et al., 2004). Although oxidative modification of reactive Cys residues within proteins hasbeen suggested as ameans bywhichH2O2 signaling can activate responses such ...

Phytohormones are responsible for integrating many aspects of plant growth and development. They modulate how fast and in what direction an organ grows. And in many cases, they determine the point at which it will die. Hormones are the signals that integrate internal developmental and external environmental inputs and translate them into appropriate responses. Plants have many ways in which to ...

Multiubiquitin chain attachment is a key step leading to the selective degradation of abnormal polypeptides and many important regulatory proteins by the eukaryotic 26S proteasome. However, the mechanism by which the 26S complex recognizes this posttranslational modification is unknown. Using synthetic multiubiquitin chains to probe an expression library for interacting proteins, we have isolat...

Animal evolutionary history has progressed, in fits and starts, over several billions of years of changing environmental conditions on this planet. Ancient environments were strikingly different from modern conditions, and, in some cases, have left a permanent stamp on animal (including human) anatomy and physiology. Recently Lassek and Gaulin (2011) assessed the role which dietary fatty acids ...

In a 2003 movie, Good Bye Lenin, the protagonist’s mother, living in East Berlin in 1989, enters a coma just before the fall of the Berlin wall and the reunification of Germany. When she wakes up, her son makes all possible efforts to conceal the changes, as the shock would jeopardize the mother’s fragile health. To this end, he builds up an old East Germany world around her—up to the restorati...

The use of genetic resources for crop improvement has undergone a fundamental shift. Continued progress will be dependent upon the natural variation contained within the world’s genebanks. Genebanks must manage their collections in ways that promote their utilization by increasing access to not only the living materials but also to the vast amounts of data that describe them. Documentation of e...
