The rhomboids consist of two muscles; the rhomboid muscle which lays above the rhomboid major. As a whole, the muscles resemble a rhomboid (hence the name) which looks like an offset rectangle. The upper end of the rhomboids sit relatively high on the back; almost in the middle of the ...
The human genome contains several rhomboid-like genes which can be phylogenetically grouped in three major classes [2]. The first class, includes the true active rhomboids genes that are subdivided into secretase (e.g. RHBDL-1/-2/-3 and RHBDD1 genes) and PARL-type subfamilies. The second...
which plays a major role in mediating root system architecture (among diverse and significant other functions) in plants [56]. There exist conflicting reports, however, in the literature as to whether the effects of MEL on root development is an auxin-dependent or -independent response [3]. He...
