Abstract excerpt
Peroxisomes are critical organelles housing various, often oxidative, reactions. Pexophagy, the process by which peroxisomes are selectively targeted for destruction via autophagy, is characterized in yeast and mammals but had not been reported in plants. In this article, we describe how the peroxisome-related aberrations of a mutant defective in the LON2 peroxisomal protease are suppressed when autophagy is...
