Morphodynamics of chloroplast network control light-avoidance response in the non-motile dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula [PDF]
arXivPhotosynthetic algae play a significant role in oceanic carbon capture. Their performance, however, is constantly challenged by fluctuations in environmental light conditions. Here, we show that the non-motile single-celled marine dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula can internally contract its chloroplast network in response to light. By exposing the cell

Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods.

Characterisation of components and mechanisms involved in redox-regulation of protein import into chloroplasts [PDF]
, 2009 The vast majority of chloroplast proteins is encoded in the nucleus and thus has to be posttranslationally imported into the organelle, a process that is facilitated by two multimeric protein machineries, the Toc and Tic complexes (translocon at the ...

Optimal disk packing of chloroplasts in plant cells [PDF]
arXivPhotosynthesis is vital for the survival of entire ecosystems on Earth. While light is fundamental to this process, excessive exposure can be detrimental to plant cells. Chloroplasts, the photosynthetic organelles, actively move in response to light and self-organize within the cell to tune light absorption.

Binary Particle Swarm Optimization versus Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Inferring Well Supported Phylogenetic Trees [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics LNBI series, 9874, 165--179, 2016, 2016 The amount of completely sequenced chloroplast genomes increases rapidly every day, leading to the possibility to build large-scale phylogenetic trees of plant species. Considering a subset of close plant species defined according to their chloroplasts, the phylogenetic tree that can be inferred by their core genes is not necessarily well supported ...

Phosphorylation of chloroplast ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit by an envelope-bound protein kinase in situ [PDF]
, 1983 A new protein kinase of the cAMP independent type was found to be bound to the outer envelope membrane of spinach chloroplasts. While stimulated by Mg2+ and inhibited by ADP, the enzyme showed no response to conventional protein substrates and was ...

Use of RNA secondary structure for evolutionary relationships : investigating RNase P and RNase MRP : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1998 Bioinformatics is applied here to examine whether RNA secondary structure data can reflect distant evolutionary relationships. This is important when there is little confidence in sequence data such as when looking at the evolution of RNase MRP (MRP ...

The Mitochondrial Genome of Cathaya argyrophylla Reaches 18.99 Mb: Analysis of Super-Large Mitochondrial Genomes in Pinaceae [PDF]
arXivMitochondrial genomes in the Pinaceae family are notable for their large size and structural complexity. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial genome of Cathaya argyrophylla, an endangered and endemic Pinaceae species, uncovering a genome size of 18.99 Mb, meaning the largest mitochondrial genome reported to date.
