TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, a network of at least 152 genes is involved in managing the level of ROS, and this network is highly dynamic and redundant, and encodes ROS-scavenging and ROS-producing proteins.

TL;DR: This study identified the PUF encoding genes from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) using a combination of sequence similarity, domain-based, and empirical approaches to associate the identified PUF genes with regulatory networks and biological processes of known function.

TL;DR: Analysis of multiple stress-response phenotypes within different populations of mutants revealed interesting links between acclimation to heat, cold and oxidative stresses, as well as between sensitivity to ABA, osmotic, salinity, oxidative and hypoxia stresses.

TL;DR: As a group, POFs appear similar to PDFs in their relative contribution to biological functions, as indicated by their expression, participation in protein-protein interactions and association with mutant phenotypes, but have more predicted disordered structure than PDFs, implying that they may exhibit preferential involvement in species-specific regulatory and signaling networks.

TL;DR: A comparison of the Arabidopsis, rice and poplar genomes reveals thatArabidopsis contains 5069 POFs, of which 2045 have no obvious homologs in rice or poplar and are likely to be involved in species- or phylogenetic-specific functions in Arabidops.
