    Tips and Tricks for Exogenous Application of Synthetic Post-translationally Modified Peptides to Plants

    The first signaling peptide discovered and purified was insulin in 1921. However, it was not until 1991 that the first peptide signal, systemin, was discovered in plants. Since the discovery of systemin, pepti...
