The Role of Grafting in Vegetable Production Under Stress Conditions
Introduction Grafting has emerged as a valuable agricultural technique to enhance crop resilience against environmental stressors. This method allows vegetable production in soils previously deemed unsuitable due to abiotic factors like water scarcity, extreme temperatures, and heavy metal contamination. Research indicates that grafted plants exhibit improved physiological responses and biochemical adaptations, making this practice a…

The Role of HECT Ubiquitin Protein Ligases in Arabidopsis thaliana: Insights into Protein Regulation
IntroductionUnderstanding protein regulation in plants is crucial for advancing agricultural biotechnology and improving plant resilience. One key mechanism is ubiquitination, a post-translational modification that regulates protein degradation, gene expression, and cellular responses. In Arabidopsis thaliana, HECT ubiquitin protein ligases (HECT E3s) play an essential role in these processes. This article explores their functions and implications…
