Rapid construction and screening of artificial microRNA systems in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

, 2014
The unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a classic model for the study of flagella/cilia and photosynthesis, and it has recently been exploited for producing biopharmaceuticals and biofuel.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii at the Crossroads of Genomics [PDF]

Eukaryotic Cell, 2003
Simple, experimentally tractable systems such Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and Arabidopsis thaliana are powerful models for dissecting basic biological processes. The unicellular green alga C. reinhardtii is amenable to a diversity of genetic and molecular manipulations. This haploid organism grows rapidly in axenic cultures, on

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

The dynamic and structural properties of axonemal tubulins support the high length stability of cilia

Nature Communications, 2019
The axoneme in cilia and flagella has exceptionally high stability despite being composed of microtubules that are known to be highly dynamic. Here authors extract tubulin from different components of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii axonemes and characterize ...

Toxicological effects of nanometer titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

, 2012
The toxicological effects of nanometer titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) on a unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were assessed by investigating the changes of the physiology and cyto-ultrastructure of this species under treatment.

Activation of Autophagy by Metals in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]

Eukaryotic Cell, 2015
ABSTRACT Autophagy is an intracellular self-degradation pathway by which eukaryotic cells recycle their own material in response to specific stress conditions. Exposure to high concentrations of metals causes cell damage, although the effect of metal stress on autophagy has not been explored in photosynthetic organisms.

CNGCs in Marchantia paleacea uncouple arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and rhizoid development

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Rhizoid growth and AM fungal infection are uncoupled. Summary In Marchantia paleacea, MpaDMI1‐dependent nuclear Ca2+ oscillations are essential for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonisation, indicating that endosymbiosis‐mediated nuclear Ca2+ signalling is a conserved feature of land plant–AM symbiosis.

Programmed cell death and redox metabolism protect Chlamydomonas reinhardtii populations from the galactic cosmic environment on the Artemis-1 mission

Scientific Reports
On the Artemis I mission, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a green unicellular flagellate alga, was exposed to the galactic cosmic environment. A new flight hardware termed “Moonshot” was designed, built, and flown.
