Serine/Arginine-rich protein family of splicing regulators: New approaches to study splice isoform functions Identification of the in vivo targets of SR proteins and their splice variants using the recently developed TRIBE (Targets of RNA-binding proteins Identified... M Morton,N Altamimi,H Butt,....
The results of existing research suggest that plant SR proteins share many similar properties with their animal counterparts. However, plants generally have a higher number of SR proteins that display largely redundant functions under normal conditions but participate in specific stress responses. More...
Here we report the functions of two proteins containing RNA recognition motifs, At RZ-1B and At RZ-1C, in Arabidopsis. At RZ-1B and At RZ-1C were localized to nuclear speckles and interacted with a spectrum of serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins through their C-termini. At RZ-1C ...
[3,4]. In the past few years, hundreds ofplant lectinshave been purified and characterized in details with respect to their biochemical properties, carbohydrate-binding specificities andbiological functions[5–7]. According to the overall structures of the matureplant lectins, they can be divided ...
caused by an anion efflux through the light-gated anion channelrhodopsin ACR1 2.04. Although both tools triggered membrane depolarizations, their activation led to distinct plant stress responses: XXM 2.0-induced Ca2+signals stimulated production of reactive oxygen species and defence mechanisms; ACR1 ...
(Fig.1. A;). Because of the disruption of the cell membrane or cell turgor, drought stressed plants accumulate ABA levels in their tissues to regulate stomatal closure. For instance,Vitis viniferamodulates stomatal closure and then accumulates ABA to keep the stomata closed in response to water...
Syringa pinnatifolia Hemsl. is a shrub belonging to the Oleaceae family. The peeled woody stems and roots of S. pinnatifolia are used in Chinese traditional medicine. This plant has been used for centuries, and modern pharmacological research has reveale

Early blight and brown leaf spot are often cited as the most problematic pathogens of tomato in many agricultural regions. Their causal agents are Alternaria spp., a genus of Ascomycota containing numerous necrotrophic pathogens. Breeding programs have yielded quantitatively resistant commercial cultivars,...
In Arabidopsis, Drosophila, and humans, many developmental processes are regulated by micro (mi) RNAs cleaved from their primary transcripts by dicer-like nucleases in specific association with the double-stranded RNA-binding proteins (dsRBP): DRB1, R3D1, and PACT, respectively [1], [2], [3...
