Abstract: Abstract Angiosperms are prolific producers of structurally diverse terpenes, which are essential for plant defense responses, as well as the formation of floral scents, fruit flavors, and medicinal constituents. Terpene synthase genes (TPSs) play crucial… read more here.

Abstract: The rapid evolution of fertilization proteins can result in remarkable diversity in their structure and function. Many of the proteins in vertebrate egg coats contain copies (1-6) of the ZP-N domain. These ZP-N domains can… read more here.
