DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification essential for maintaining genome stability. However, how methyltransferases maintain CG methylation within compact chromatin, including centromeres, remains unclear. In humans, CDCA7 is necessary...
BACKGROUND: Plants are always exposed to a variety of stressful environments, including heat and drought stress, which severely impact the growth, development, and productivity of the plants. To overcome such challenges, plants have evolved diverse a...
The circadian clock of plants contributes to their survival and fitness. However, understanding clock function at the transcriptome level and its response to the environment requires assaying across high resolution time-course experiments. Generating...
Multiple C2 Domains and Transmembrane region Proteins (MCTPs) in plants have been identified as important functional and structural components of plasmodesmata cytoplasmic bridges, which are vital for cell-cell communication. MCTPs are endoplasmic re...
Proteins are the molecular machines of life with numerous applications in energy, health, and sustainability. However, engineering proteins with desired functions for practical applications remains slow, expensive, and specialist-dependent. Here we r...
In Arabidopsis, exposure to microbial volatile compounds promotes thiol reduction of the Cys95 residue of the photosynthetic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (cFBP1). Although highly conserved in plants, the Cys95 function still remains unknown. We...
Protein ubiquitination is a critical post-translational modification (PTM) involved in diverse biological processes and plays a pivotal role in regulating physiological mechanisms and disease states. Despite various efforts to develop ubiquitination ...

Trichomes are unicellular or multicellular hair-like appendages developed on the aerial plant epidermis of most plant species that act as a protective barrier against natural hazards. For this reason, evaluating the density of trichomes is a valuable...
BACKGROUND: Proteins are the workforce of the cell and their phosphorylation status tailors specific responses efficiently. One of the main challenges of phosphoproteomic approaches is to deconvolute biological processes that specifically respond to ...
