The Papain-like Cysteine Protease <i>HpXBCP3</i> from <i>Haematococcus pluvialis</i> Involved in the Regulation of Growth, Salt Stress Tolerance and Chlorophyll Synthesis in Microalgae
The papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs), the most important group of cysteine proteases, have been reported to participate in the regulation of growth, senescence, and abiotic stresses in plants. However, the functions of PLCPs and their roles in stress response in microalgae was rarely reported....
