An improved and convenient petri plate-based method for studying the root growth of plants.

Plant scientists across the globe are interested in studying the root growth architecture of plants to understand different processes determining growth and development in plants. In the majority of cases, root growth-related experiments are carried out on petri plates filled with solid nutrient media. However, plants growing in these plates are often exposed to conditions that are not close to the natural conditions.

Genome-wide characterization of FK506-binding proteins, parvulins and phospho-tyrosyl phosphatase activators in wheat and their regulation by heat stress.

Peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIases) are ubiquitous proteins which are essential for isomerisation of peptide bonds preceding the proline residue. PPIases are categorized into four sub-families ., cyclophilins, FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), parvulins and protein phosphatase 2A phosphatase activators (PTPAs).
