Comparative analysis of canonical and noncanonical rhodopsins in Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium veneficum

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rhodopsins are ancient and versatile light‐sensitive proteins, widely distributed across microbial life. In dinoflagellates, however, their diversity and function remain poorly understood, owing to the lineage's extreme genomic divergence. Here, we surveyed the rhodopsin complements of two dinoflagellates, Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium ...

Chlamydomonas as a model system to study cilia and flagella using genetics, biochemistry, and microscopy

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
The unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, has played a central role in discovering much of what is currently known about the composition, assembly, and function of cilia and flagella.

The unicellular green microalga Botryosphaerella sudetica links plant‐like light protection with an algal lifestyle

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanisms fine‐tune light utilisation in the photosynthetic antenna, for example, in response to excess light, to prevent photodamage. NPQ comprises distinct mechanisms, all contributing to photoprotection but acting on different time scales.

A robust protocol for efficient generation, and genomic characterization of insertional mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Plant Methods, 2017
Background Random insertional mutagenesis of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using drug resistance cassettes has contributed to the generation of tens of thousands of transformants in dozens of labs around the world. In many instances these insertional mutants

Metacaspases contribute to the cellular response to heat stress in a marine diatom

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate‐driven marine heatwaves (HW) are extreme, large‐scale events characterized by elevated ocean temperatures lasting from days to months. Despite their importance, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of algal response to marine HW. Recent studies suggest that metacaspases play an important role in thermotolerance.

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

S2‐PepAnalyst: A Web Tool for Predicting Plant Small Signalling Peptides

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small signalling peptides (SSPs) serve as crucial mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication in plants, orchestrating diverse physiological processes from development to stress responses. While recent advances in sequencing technologies have improved genome annotation, the identification of novel SSPs remains challenging due to their small size ...

Enhancing CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Knockout With Short Non‐Homologous Oligonucleotides

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a model green microalga that has great industrial potential as a sustainable bio‐factory for recombinant protein and high‐value chemical production. Efficient genome editing tools are required to redesign this organism for synthetic biology applications. CRISPR‐Cas editing technologies have already been adapted for
