TL;DR: Esta revisao enfoca varios aspectos desta complexa interacao entre plantas e insetos, incluindo substâncias derivadas de compostos quimicos, moleculas produzidas a partir do processamento de proteinas e compostos volateis das plantas.

TL;DR: Sugarcane genes responsive to phytohormones and to challenges sugarcane commonly deals with in the field were identified and the protein kinases were annotated based on a phylogenetic approach.

TL;DR: Recent data indicate that the final destination of a protein might respond to changes in the environment; this underlines the complexity of cell engineering that is required to localize a protein.

TL;DR: In greenhouse trials with transgenic sugarcane plants infested with D. saccharalis neonate larvae and leaf tissue excised from propagated transgenic and untransformed plants, it was found that these plants still presented the ‘dead heart’ symptom typically observed in susceptible plants in the field, suggesting that the retardation of the growth of D.saccharalis observed in the laboratory-based feeding trials was not sufficient to prevent this type of damage.

TL;DR: Comparative sequence analysis suggests three subunits, Tom40, Tom7, and Tom22 as common elements of the protein translocase in the mitochondrial outer membrane in diverse extant eukaryotes, and strongly suggests these subunits as the core of theprotein translocation machinery in the earliest mitochondria.
