Plant hormone receptors: Perception is everything
Article Abstract:
The strong influence of genetic analysis on plant hormone studies has limited the study to receptors, where in vivo studies have provided reagents for in vitro experiments and the focus is on five receptors. Information available allows receptors to be classified on the basis of their biochemical properties rather than by hormone they perceive and allows comparisons not only between different plant hormone systems, but also, where possible, to receptors in other kingdoms.

Expanding RNA physiology: MicroRNAs in a unicellular organism
Article Abstract:
The micro RNAs have many vital roles to perform in different organisms such as RNA silencing, controlling developmental processes and binding to various proteins. The activities of these microRNAs in the life processes of unicellular organisms like Chlamydomonas are analyzed.
