Polarized cellular distribution of the phytohormone auxin and its carriers is essential for normal
plant growth and development. Polar auxin transport 1 , 2 is maintained by a network of …

Summry— Iron is an essential element for plant metabolism because of its redox properties.
Its long distance and intracellular trafficking require specialized proteins and low molecular …

A key feature of plants (as opposed to animals) is their ability to establish new organs not only
during embryogenesis, but also throughout their development. A master regulator of organ …

In eukaryotic cells, the endocytic and secretory pathways are key players in several
physiological processes. These pathways are largely inter‐connected in animal and yeast cells …

Lipid droplets/oil bodies (OBs) are lipid-storage organelles that play a crucial role as an
energy resource in a variety of eukaryotic cells. Lipid stores are mobilized in the case of food …

Sorting nexins (SNXs) are conserved eukaryotic proteins that associate with three types of
vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) proteins to form the retromer complex. How SNXs act in this …

Self-incompatibility has been considered by geneticists a model system for reproductive biology
and balancing selection, but our understanding of the genetic basis and evolution of this …

More than half of the flowering plants have a sophisticated mechanism for self-pollen rejection,
named self-incompatibility (SI). In Brassicaceae, recognition specificity is achieved by the …

The retromer complex localizes to endosomal membranes and is involved in protein
trafficking. In mammals, it is composed of a dimer of sorting nexins and of the core retromer …

The prevention of fertilization through self-pollination (or pollination by a close relative) in
the Brassicaceae plant family is determined by the genotype of the plant at the self-…
