TL;DR: A detailed bioinformatic analysis of 441 members of the Arabidopsis PPR family plus genomic and genetic data on the expression, localization, and general function of many family members confirm, but massively extend, the very sparse observations previously obtained from detailed characterization of individual mutants in other organisms.

TL;DR: A neural network‐based approach (Predotar – Prediction of Organelle Targeting sequences) for identifying genes encoding these proteins amongst eukaryotic genome sequences and has been illustrated by the discovery of the pentatricopeptide repeat family.

TL;DR: A proteome-wide binary protein-protein interaction map for the interactome network of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana containing about 6200 highly reliable interactions between about 2700 proteins is described.

TL;DR: It is reported that another ethylene-overproducer mutation, eto1, is in a gene that negatively regulates ACS activity and ethylene production, and it is proposed that ETO1 serves as a substrate-specific adaptor protein that permits rapid modulation of the concentration of ethylene.

TL;DR: In planta expression of GST hairpin RNA results in the expected phenotypes in silenced Arabidopsis lines, and these versatile GST resources provide novel and powerful tools for functional genomics.
