[Review of ]. TRAFFIC, 9(10), 1581–1588.

author keywords: endoplasmic reticulum; molecular chaperones; protein bodies; protein degradation; protein folding
MeSH headings : Endoplasmic Reticulum / metabolism; Endoplasmic Reticulum / physiology; Plant Physiological Phenomena; Plant Proteins / metabolism; Protein Folding; Secretory Pathway / physiology; Signal Transduction; Stress, Physiological / physiology
TL;DR: The study of plant‐specific processes such as pathogen response, seed development and the synthesis of seed storage proteins and of particular toxins is providing novel insights, with potential implications for the general recognition events and mechanisms of action of QC and UPR.

Protein quality control (QC) within the endoplasmic reticulum and the related unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway of signal transduction are major regulators of the secretory pathway, which is involved in virtually any aspect of development and reproduction. The study of plant‐specific processes such as pathogen response, seed development and the synthesis of seed storage proteins and of particular toxins is providing novel insights, with potential implications for the general recognition events and mechanisms of action of QC and UPR.
