Plant signalling peptides: some recent developments.
The subject of this review is plant signalling peptides, peptides of a new generation which regulate growth, differentiation, and other plant physiological functions. These peptides include systemin, the phytosulfokines (PSKs), ENOD40, CLAVATA3, Locus-S, POLARIS, IDA, and ROT4. On the basis of literature data and our own results we discuss their structure, biological properties, and structure/biological function relationship, especially for the more studied systemin and PSK-alpha.
