Protein Glycation in Plants—An Under-Researched Field with Much Still to Discover by Naila Rabbani (291722)

“…We consider dicarbonyl stress, the functional vulnerability of the plant proteome to arginine-directed glycation and the likely role of methylglyoxal-mediated glycation in the activation of the unfolded protein response in plants. The latter is linked to the recent suggestion of protein glycation in sugar signaling in plant metabolism. …”
