ABSTRACT Lipid remodelling is a fundamental component of plant responses to environmental stress and development, yet its regulation in fast‐growing aquatic plants remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated how abscisic acid (ABA) regulates triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation and fatty acid (FA) composition in the duckweed Lemna minor.

Analysis of the Movement of Chlamydomonas Flagella: The Function of the Radial-spoke System Is Revealed by Comparison of Wild-type and Mutant Flagella [PDF]
The mutation uni-1 gives rise to uniflagellate Chlamydomonas cells which rotate around a fixed point in the microscope field, so that the flagellar bending pattern can be photographed easily .

Fully Tunable Phosphorylation of RPS6A Ensures the Successful Development of Arabidopsis Seedlings
ABSTRACT Light enhances protein translation, enabling young seedlings to rapidly and timely acquire photosynthetic capacities. Sequential phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) was implicated in the light‐enhanced translation; however, the exact phosphorylation sites and the biological relevance of RPS6 multi‐phosphorylation in seedling ...

Measurement of Lipid Droplet Accumulation Kinetics in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Using Seoul-Fluor
Alternative energy resources have become an important issue due to the limited stocks of petroleum-based fuel. Microalgae, a source of renewable biodiesel, use solar light to convert CO2 into lipid droplets (LDs).

Advances and opportunities for computational interrogation of plant proteins
SUMMARY Plants exhibit remarkable biochemical and physiological diversity, and are capable of adapting to a wide range of environmental conditions and stresses. This complexity makes them essential systems for understanding how life responds to a changing climate.

Enhanced Lipid Production in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by Co-culturing With Azotobacter chroococcum
The green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is one of the model species used to study lipid production, although research has focused on nitrogen-deficient cultures, that inhibit the development of biomass by C. reinhardtii and limit lipid production. In

Cell body rocking is a dominant mechanism for flagellar synchronization in a swimming alga
The unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas swims with two flagella, which can synchronize their beat. Synchronized beating is required to swim both fast and straight.

Cofactor Fingerprinting with STD NMR to Characterize Proteins of Unknown Function: Identification of a Rare cCMP Cofactor Preference [PDF]
Proteomics efforts have created a need for better strategies to functionally categorize newly discovered proteins. To this end, we have employed saturation transfer difference NMR with pools of closely related cofactors, to determine cofactor preferences.
