How does ionizing radiation affect amyloidogenesis in plants?

CONCLUSION: Our data hinted that protein accumulation stimulated seedlings' growth as well as accelerated ontogenesis and, eventually, senescence, primarily through translation and RNA processing. The increased abundance of primary metabolism-related proteins indicates more intensive metabolic processes triggered in germinating pea seeds upon X-ray exposure. The functional role of detected putative amyloidogenic proteins should be validated in overexpression or knockout follow-up studies.PMID:38530837 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2024.2331126
