American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1991-2005, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Numerous processes influence plant distributions and co‐occurrence patterns, including ecological sorting, limiting similarity, and stochastic effects. To discriminate among these processes and determine the spatial scales at which they operate, we investigated how functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness influence the ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 2068-2081, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Approximately 14% of all fern species have physiologically active chlorophyllous spores that are much more short‐lived than the more common and dormant achlorophyllous spores. Most chlorophyllous‐spored species (70%) are epiphytes and account for almost 37% of all epiphytic ferns.

Chloroplasts in plant cells show active glassy behavior under low light conditions [PDF]
, 2022 Plants have developed intricate mechanisms to adapt to changing light conditions. Besides photo- and helio- tropism -- the differential growth towards light and the diurnal motion with respect to sunlight -- chloroplast motion acts as a fast mechanism to change the intracellular structure of leaf cells.

Gene introduction approaches in chloroplast transformation and its applications
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Background Chloroplast is a type of plastid that is believed to be originated from ancestral cyanobacteria. Chloroplast besides being a major component for photosynthesis, also takes part in another major plant metabolism, making it one of the major ...

Whole‐genomic DNA amplifications from individually isolated sweet sorghum microspores
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 10, Issue 6, November-December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Sorghum is a multi‐use crop, the efficient breeding of which requires the development of new genetic tools. One such tool could be the genetic assessment of free microspores, which are released just after the tetrad stage of pollen development.

Light-Induced Movements of Chloroplasts and Nuclei Are Regulated in Both Cp-Actin-Filament-Dependent and -Independent Manners in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Light-induced chloroplast movement and attachment to the plasma membrane are dependent on actin filaments. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the short actin filaments on the chloroplast envelope, cp-actin filaments, are essential for chloroplast movement and ...

Chloroplast Lipids Metabolism and Function. A Redox Perspective
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Plant productivity is determined by the conversion of solar energy into biomass through oxygenic photosynthesis, a process performed by protein-cofactor complexes including photosystems (PS) II and I, and ATP synthase.

Phylogenic study of Lemnoideae (duckweeds) through complete chloroplast genomes for eight accessions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Phylogenetic relationship within different genera of Lemnoideae, a kind of small aquatic monocotyledonous plants, was not well resolved, using either morphological characters or traditional markers.

Chloroplast in Plant-Virus Interaction
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 In plants, the chloroplast is the organelle that conducts photosynthesis. It has been known that chloroplast is involved in virus infection of plants for approximate 70 years.
