Peptide hormones in plants
Article Abstract:
Peptide signaling plays a significant role in various aspects of plant growth and development and specific receptors for various peptides were identified as being membrane-localized receptor kinases, the largest family of receptor-like molecules in plants. The advances in the existing understanding of biologically active peptides in plants, currently regarded as a new class of plant hormones are outlined.

Genetics of meiotic prophase I in plants
Article Abstract:
Traits, during meiotic prophase I, are reassorted as a result of a highly organized process involving sister chromatid cohesion, homologous chromosome alignment, pairing, synapsis, and recombination. Maize and Arabidopsis are used to discuss the conserved and plant-specific aspects of meiosis commitment and meiotic prophase I features.
