Article Synopsis
- Heterotrimeric G proteins are key signaling molecules, but their identification in castor plants (Ricinus communis) had not been previously studied.
- Researchers identified 9 G-protein genes in the castor genome, categorized them into three subgroups, and found that most showed similarity to soybean G-proteins; these genes respond to salt stress and are involved in important plant functions.
- The study reveals critical information about G-protein roles in stress response and crop resilience, providing a foundation for future genetic improvements in plants.
