Ethylene vs. Salicylic Acid in Apical Hook Formation
Research, The Plant Cell: In BriefWhen seeds germinate underground, the emerging seedlings must push upward through the soil to reach sunlight and begin photoautotrophic growth. As the hypocotyl emerges from the seed, mechanical pressure against the soil induces production of ethylene, which accumulates and promotes hypocotyl curling.…

Ubiquitous ubiquitin: The K63 ubiquitinome
Research, The Plant Cell: In BriefPolyubiquitination, the sequential attachment of the small 8kDa globular protein ubiquitin (Ub) to target proteins, represents a major post-translational modification that ultimately determines the substrate’s cellular fate. Ub conjugation is an extremely versatile form of protein regulation since…
