“…Recently, Marshall et al [ 21 ] showed that inactive 26S proteasomes are removed via a mechanism called proteaphagy, establishing a functional link between the two major degradation pathways. Furthermore, selective autophagy also plays a critical role in the clearance of invading pathogens (xenophagy) including bacteria, viruses, and fungi [ 11 , 13 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Since numerous excellent reviews have covered the pexophagy [ 42 , 43 ], chloropahgy [ 28 , 44 , 45 ], ER-phagy [ 3 ], proteaphagy [ 21 ], and xenophagy [ 11 , 13 , 41 , 46 , 47 ], we just focus our attention on the newly emerged features and the novel roles of the selective autophagy in response to both biotic and abiotic stresses in plants.…”
