Integrative plant biology: Role of phloem long-distance macromolecular trafficking

Article Abstract:

Progress in the characterization of phloem-mediated transport of macromolecules as components of an integrated long-distance signaling network is reviewed. The role played by these proteins and RNA species in coordination of developmental programs and the plant's response to both environmental cues and pathogen challenge is highlighted, along with the importance of developing phloem transcriptome and proteomic databases within the context of advances in plant systems biology.

Plant peroxiredoxins

Article Abstract:

Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are abundant low-efficiency peroxidases located in distinct cell compartments including the chloroplast and mitochondrion. Summary of current knowledge on Prxs and the questions related to the function of the phylogenetically ancient group of Prxs in plants are reviewed.
