Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum explores the various nanomaterials that are impacting agriculture whether through intentional or unintentional pathways. Providing a concise outlook of NMs in soil chemistry, physics, and biology, it highlights nanomaterial transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake. Plants may be exposed to naturally generated or artificially produced nanomaterials (ENMs). They can absorb NMs from the soil through roots or leaves but return them to the soil through litter, creating an intricate network of NMs cycling in a soil-plant continuum. Understanding this NM transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake is integral to understanding, and protecting, an ecosystem. Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum also discusses the translocation and biotransformation of NMs in plants and their effects on plant metabolism. Considering NMs as new and emerging agrochemicals, a detailed understanding of their role in the soil-plant continuum, ecosystem functioning, and services will also be discussed. This volume in the "Nanomaterial Plant Interactions" series highlights the recent insights into the impact, fate, and transport of NMs in the soil-plant continuum and their potential impacts on soil and plant health.

Protein termini represent a major route to protein regulation. From the moment the very first amino acid of a polypeptide chain exits the ribosome there is potential for steering from the cellular environment. This volume of Methods in Enzymology Modifications and Targeting of Protein Termini focuses on Protein N-termini and C-termini and their modifications which include acetylation, arginylation, myristoylation and oxidation. Also, the impact of terminal modifications is covered, in particular the impact on protein turnover and the ubiquitin E3 ligases which specifically recognize protein N-termini (N-degrons) and C-termini (C-degrons). In addition to the detailed methods and laboratory protocols, the chapters include informative overviews and reviews of the different subfields.
