Degradation of chloroplasts and chloroplast components is a distinctive feature of leaf senescence. In spite of its importance in the nutrient economy of plants, knowledge about the mechanism(s) involved in the breakdown ...

Delivery of recombinant proteins to vegetative tissue vacuoles was considered inconvenient since this compartment was expected to be hydrolytic; nevertheless there is growing evidence that certain foreign proteins accumulate ...

Leaf senescence is characterized by massive degradation of chloroplast proteins, yet the protease(s) involved is(are) not completely known. Increased expression and/or activities of serine, cysteine, aspartic, and ...

Plant senescence is accompanied by a marked increase in proteolytic activities, and cysteine proteases (Cys-protease) represent the prevailing class among the responsible proteases. Cys-proteases predominantly locate to ...

Plasmodium falciparum es el agente causante de la malaria en humanos. Su célula hospedera final es el eritrocito, donde se aloja en una vacuola parasitófora. La salida de P. falciparum es un proceso de importancia vital ...

Perfect flowers of Maytenus obtusifolia have partial sterility of pollen grains, resulting in collapsed and developed free microspores. However, the cellular events resulting in partial male sterility have not been determined. ...
