This image shows what pollen looks like with Acinetobacter, a genus of bacteria common in flowers. Many of the pollen grains are germinating and bursting. (Shawn Christensen, UC Davis) Certain species ...

The 26S proteasome is a multicatalytic complex that acts as primary protease of the ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic pathway in eukaryotes. We provide here the first evidence that the proteasome plays a ...

1. A cell-free protein synthesizing system was developed, which is able to incorporate amino acids into protein programmed by polysomes from pollen grains. 2. The enzyme system used was a 100,000 g ...

Certain species of floral bacteria can enhance pollen germination, finds the first study documenting induction and stimulation of pollen germination by non-plants. Certain species of floral bacteria ...

Certain species of floral bacteria can enhance pollen germination, according to a study published today from the University of California, Davis in the journal Current Biology. Acinetobacter is a ...
