TL;DR: The relationship between leaf area and plant biomass was found to be non-linear and variable depending on carbon partitioning and the model output was sensitive to the rate of photosynthesis but moresensitive to the amount of carbon partitioned to growing thicker leaves.

TL;DR: Using a split-ubiquitin yeast two-hybrid screen that covers a test-space of 6.4 × 106 pairs, 12,102 membrane/signaling protein interactions from Arabidopsis are identified, with several of the identified interactions fill gaps in important signal transduction chains, while others point to functions for enigmatic unknown proteins.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of protein interaction detection using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, NMR, yeast two-hybrid screens, peptide tagging combined with mass spectrometry and fluorescence-based technologies can be found in this article.

TL;DR: It is shown that leaf growth is rapidly arrested after COR treatment and that this effect is tightly correlated with changes in the expression of genes involved in growth, photosynthesis, and defense, which support the view that photosynthetic capacity is maintained during the period in which stress-induced JA signaling redirects metabolism from growth to defense.

TL;DR: The robotic screening method established here will enable a systematic analysis of membrane protein interactions in fungi, plants and metazoa.
