Map of Interactions of Plant Proteins
Proteins are essential components of parts of the mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana, such as petals, stalks and flowers. The genetics of these essential proteins were previously identified through studies involving genome sequencing. Now, new research shows
important functional aspects of these previously sequenced proteins, such as interactions between proteins. This new information might lay the foundation for future research dedicated to improving important crops.
