SAG21/LEA5 is an unusual late embryogenesis abundant protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, that is primarily mitochondrially located and may be important in regulating translation in both chloroplasts and mitochondria. SAG21 expression is regulated by a plethora of abiotic and biotic stresses and plant growth regulators indicating a complex regulatory network. To identify key transcription factors regulating SAG21 expression, yeast-1-hybrid screens were used to identify transcription factors that bind the 1685 bp upstream of the SAG21 translational start site.

- - Hemocyanins are multi-protein complexes in the blood of arthropods and molluscs, functioning as oxygen transporters, with structures featuring decameric building blocks that can assemble in larger structures (didecamer, tridecamer) displaying specific symmetries.
- - The study utilized cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) to examine hemocyanin structures from the slipper limpet at high resolution, revealing unique assembly configurations and suggesting the presence of various higher-order multimers.
- - By using Alphafold for molecular modeling, researchers highlighted the structural similarities between the studied hemocyanin and other known hemocyanins, providing insight into the assembly mechanisms and functional units involved
In recent years, the study of aromatic plants has seen an increase, with great interest from industrial, academic, and pharmaceutical industries. Among plants attracting increased attention are the spp. (mint), members of the Lamiaceae family.
