Abstract
Aspartic proteases are extensively distributed across plant species and are integral to various developmental and defense mechanisms. This review initially examines the classification, biochemical properties, and advancements in the understanding of the subcellular localization of plant aspartic proteases. Subsequently, it delves into the diverse functions of aspartic proteases in plant vegetative and reproductive development, as well as their roles in responding to abiotic and biotic stresses. Additionally, the review addresses the specific functions of aspartic proteases in particular plant species, such as carnivorous plants and leguminous plants involved in nitrogen fixation. Collectively, this synthesis provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge regarding the roles of aspartic proteases in plants.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Experimental Botany publishes high-quality primary research and review papers in the plant sciences. These papers cover a range of disciplines from molecular and cellular physiology and biochemistry through whole plant physiology to community physiology.
Full-length primary papers should contribute to our understanding of how plants develop and function, and should provide new insights into biological processes. The journal will not publish purely descriptive papers or papers that report a well-known process in a species in which the process has not been identified previously. Articles should be concise and generally limited to 10 printed pages.
