RT Book, Whole T1 Plant Proteases A1 Díaz Mendoza, María Mercedes A1 Guiamet, Juan A1 Van Breusegem, Frank A2 Díaz Mendoza, María Mercedes A2 Guiamet, Juan A2 Van Breusegem, Frank AB Plant proteases are involved in most aspects of plant physiology and development, playing key roles in the generation of signaling molecules and as regulators of essential cellular processes such as cell division and metabolism. They take part in important pathways like protein turnover by the degradation of misfolded proteins and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and they are responsible for post-translational modifications of proteins by proteolysis at highly specific sites. Proteases are also implicated in a great variety of environmentally controlled processes, including mobilization of storage proteins during seed germination, development of seedlings, senescence, programmed cell death and defense mechanisms against pests andpathogens.However, in spite of their importance, little is known about the functions and mode of actions of specific plant proteases. This Research Topic collects contributions covering diverse aspects of plant proteases research. PB Frontiers Media SA.
