Chloroplast Genome Yields Unusual Seven-Cluster Structure C [PDF]
We studied the structuredness in a chloroplast genome of Siberian larch. The clusters in 63-dimensional space were identified with elastic map technique, where the objects to be clusterized are the different fragments of the genome. A seven-cluster structure in the distribution of those fragments reported previously has been found.

Membrane-Specific Targeting of Tail-Anchored Proteins SECE1 and SECE2 Within Chloroplasts.
Membrane proteins that are imported into chloroplasts must be accurately targeted in order to maintain the identity and function of the highly differentiated internal membranes.

Well-supported phylogenies using largest subsets of core-genes by discrete particle swarm optimization [PDF]
The number of complete chloroplastic genomes increases day after day, making it possible to rethink plants phylogeny at the biomolecular era. Given a set of close plants sharing in the order of one hundred of core chloroplastic genes, this article focuses on how to extract the largest subset of sequences in order to obtain the most supported species ...

Genetics and Physiology of the Nuclearly Inherited Yellow Foliar Mutants in Soybean
Plant photosynthetic pigments are important in harvesting the light energy and transfer of energy during photosynthesis. There are several yellow foliar mutants discovered in soybean and chromosomal locations for about half of them have been deduced ...

Chloroplast proteostasis: A story of birth, life, and death
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is a dynamic balance of protein synthesis and degradation. Because of the endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts and the massive transfer of their genetic information to the nucleus of the host cell, many protein ...

Some adaptations of the anthocerophyte Megoceros pellucidus (Colenso) E.A.Hodgs. to extremely low light environments : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The New Zealand Anthocerophyte Megaceros pellucidus (Colenso) is found in wet, cool temperate rain forest and is associated with extremely low light habitats (0.5-7 μmoles photons m−² s−¹). The light available to M.

Production of a subunit vaccine candidate against porcine post-weaning diarrhea in high-biomass transplastomic tobacco [PDF]
Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in piglets is a major problem in piggeries worldwide and results in severe economic losses. Infection with Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the key culprit for the PWD disease.

Engineered Living Energy Materials
Engineered living energy materials (ELEMs) are nascent research frontier for enabling sustainable energy conversion and storage. These materials exhibit unique characteristics such as self‐regeneration, biodegradability, environmental response, and evolutionary adaptability. This paper overviews different energy conversion bio‐modules, summarizes their

A generalised approach to the study and understanding of adaptive evolution
ABSTRACT Evolutionary theory has made large impacts on our understanding and management of the world, in part because it has been able to incorporate new data and new insights successfully. Nonetheless, there is currently a tension between certain biological phenomena and mainstream evolutionary theory.
