Focus: Plant sciences in Korea

Communications in Plant Sciences

The purpose of this paper is to present a review of highly developed medicinal usages of plants in the treatment of cancer. In the last decades, the cancer treatment has been included in this range of plant use, due to plant active substances. Active substances or secondary metabolites are generally known for their widespread application. When it comes to the cancer treatment, these substances ...

focus on communication in iranian high school language classes: a study of the role of teaching materials in changing the focus onto communication in language classes

چکیده ارتباط در کلاس به عوامل زیادی از جمله معلمان، دانش آموزان، برنامه های درسی و از همه مهم تر، مواد آموزشی وابسته است. در تدریس ارتباطی زبان که تاکید زیادی بر توانش ارتباطی دارد، کتاب درسی به عنوان عامل موثر بر پویایی کلاس محسوب میگردد که درس ها را از طریق فراهم آوردن متن ارتباط کلاسی و هم چنین نوع تمرین زبانی که دانش آموزان در طول فعالیت های کلاسی به آن مشغول اند، کنترل می کند. این حقیقت ک...

The plant nuclear envelope in focus.

Recent progress in understanding the plant NE (nuclear envelope) has resulted from significant advances in identifying and characterizing the protein constituents of the membranes and nuclear pores. Here, we review recent findings on the membrane integral and membrane-associated proteins of the key domains of the NE, the pore domain and inner and outer NEs, together with information on protein ...

Focus on ubiquitin in plant biology.

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers are small proteins that are covalently joined via their C-terminal carboxyl group to substrate proteins, often on a Lys residue, thereby modifying the stability, localization, or function of the target. Although ubiquitin is present in all eukaryotes, plants have an inordinate fondness for ubiquitin, as judged by the plethora of ubiquitin-protein ligases e...
