Peptides, currently being considered as a novel class of plant hormones, play diverse roles in plant growth and development. Peptides trigger signaling by binding to receptors and co-receptors, thus activating cellular signaling pathways. Recently, peptides have been extensively investigated in plant reproduction-related processes, ranging from gametes development to gametes fusion. In this review, we summarize recent advancements related to the role of peptides in plant reproduction and discuss challenges that need to be addressed urgently.

Proteins with chemically regulatable phase separation are of great interest in the fields of biomolecular condensates and synthetic biology. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are the dominating building blocks of biomolecular condensates which often lack orthogonality and small-molecule regulation desired to create synthetic biomolecular condensates or membraneless organelles (MLOs). Here, we discover a well-folded globular protein, lipoate-protein ligase A (LplA) from E.

SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification that contributes to various biological processes in plants. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Zhang et al. show that covalent attachment of SUMO to PROPEP proteins promotes their proteolytic cleavage by metacaspase to release small signaling peptides (plant elictor peptides [PEPs]), triggering the release of the mature peptide in response to cell wall damage.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, and, currently, there is no cure for patients with PD. Studies have shown that Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb) has good neuroprotective effects against PD. The cerebellum is widely involved in cognitive function and may be related to the regulation of static tremors in PD.

COL17A1 is predominantly expressed in skin epithelial cells and primarily localized within hemidesmosomes. It plays an essential role in epidermal-dermal attachment. Consequently, a recombinant human-like COL17A1 protein (rhCOL17) with low molecular weight and high biocompatibility presents a promising and competitive biomaterial.
