Abstract:Fbox proteins are a protein family containing Fbox motif and in charge of recognizing the substrate to be degraded during ubiquitinproteasome pathway. In order to promote the functional study of Fbox family in Arabidopsis thaliana and other important crops, and draw a complete metabolic network of the family in plants as soon as possible, the present paper focuses on the research progress of Fbox family in A. thaliana reported in recent years, including the amount, type of member of Fbox family and their roles during growth and development, cell signal transduction, biotic and abiotic stress resistance and other physiological processes.
