TL;DR: The Plant Transcription Factor Database (PlnTFDB) is an integrative database that provides putatively complete sets of transcription factors and other transcriptional regulators in plant species whose genomes have been completely sequenced and annotated.

TL;DR: The PhosPhAt database of Arabidopsis phosphorylation sites is now more of a web application with the inclusion of advanced search functions allowing combinatorial searches by Boolean terms and functional annotation of proteins using MAPMAN ontology.

TL;DR: A novel protein microarray-based proteomic method allowing high throughput study of protein phosphorylation revealed transcription factors, transcription regulators, splicing factors, receptors, histones, and others as candidate substrates indicating that regulation in response to MAPK signaling is very complex and not restricted to the transcriptional level.

TL;DR: The application of the experimental and computed results in understanding the phosphoproteomic networks of cellular and metabolic processes in plants is discussed and development of computational prediction methods yielding significantly improved sensitivity and specificity for the detection of phosphorylation sites in plants when compared to methods trained on less plant‐specific data is summarized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that diverse poplar species carry partial duplicates of the ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATOR 17 (ARR17) orthologue in the male specific region of the Y chromosome.
