TL;DR: A previously unsuspected role for eATP is revealed as a negative regulator of defensive signal transduction and its importance as a key signal integrating defence and cell viability in plants is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The potential role of differentially expressed genes is discussed against a background of proteins identified in the endoplasmic reticulum, which is the site of TAG biosynthesis, and transgenic studies aimed at increasing the ricinoleic acid content of TAG.

TL;DR: The structure of ENR shows a striking similarity with the epimerases and short-chain alcohol dehydrogenases, in particular, 3 alpha,20 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD), extends to the conservation of a catalytically important lysine that stabilizes the transition state and to the use of a tyrosine as a base.

TL;DR: Results indicated that acclimation to the heat-shock conditions might be governed by transcriptional and translational regulation in Synechocystis.

TL;DR: Three novel observations, viz.retion of a new class of putative enzyme inhibitor, the apparent recruitment of classical cytosolic proteins into the cell wall and the change in phosphorylation status of extracellular matrix proteins, suggest that the extracllular matrix plays a complex role in defence.
