Genome‐wide identification and biological relevance of broccoli aquaporins

The Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is an important crop worldwide, and its regular consumption is associated with health benefits due to the presence of various bioactive compounds. An optimal water balance and homeostasis are needed for plant growth; in this sense, aquaporins play a crucial role.

WHITE PANICLE3, a Novel Nucleus-Encoded Mitochondrial Protein, Is Essential for Proper Development and Maintenance of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria in Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are interacting organelles that play important roles in plant development. In addition to a small number proteins encoded by their own genomes, the majority of mitochondrial and chloroplast proteins are encoded in the cell ...

A model of chloroplast growth regulation in mesophyll cells [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Chloroplasts regulate their growth to optimize photosynthesis. Quantitative data shows that the ratio of total chloroplast area to mesophyll cell area is constant across different cells within a single species, and also across species. Wild-type chloroplasts exhibit little scatter around this trend; highly irregularly-shaped mutant chloroplasts exhibit

Photoinduced electron transfer across phospholipid bilayers in anaerobic and aerobic atmospheres

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
In natural photosynthesis, light‐driven electron transfer across the thylakoid membrane enables efficient charge separation and the confinement of reaction spaces for generating NADPH and CO2 and oxidation of water. These reactions are complementary redox reactions and require different reaction conditions for optimal performance.

Not All Light Spectra Were Created Equal: Can We Harvest Light for Optimum Food‐Energy Co‐Generation?

Earth's Future, Volume 10, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Humanity's growing appetites for food and energy are placing unprecedented yield targets on our lands. Chasing those ever‐expanding land intensification targets gave rise to monocultures and sharpened the divide between food and energy production groups.

Gene Similarity-based Approaches for Determining Core-Genes of Chloroplasts [PDF]

, 2014
In computational biology and bioinformatics, the manner to understand evolution processes within various related organisms paid a lot of attention these last decades. However, accurate methodologies are still needed to discover genes content evolution. In a previous work, two novel approaches based on sequence similarities and genes features have been ...

Assessing the efficiency of ethyl acetate for lipid extraction as an alternative to the Folch method in selected marine low‐trophic species

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The EtOAc method offers a straightforward and environmentally friendly protocol for lipid extraction, showing efficiency comparable to the Folch method, particularly in extracting lipids with high proportions of neutral lipids and free fatty acids. Abstract The recognized health benefits associated with marine omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)

Eight-cluster structure of chloroplast genomes differs from similar one observed for bacteria [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Previously, a seven-cluster pattern claiming to be a universal one in bacterial genomes has been reported. Keeping in mind the most popular theory of chloroplast origin, we checked whether a similar pattern is observed in chloroplast genomes. Surprisingly, eight cluster structure has been found, for chloroplasts.

ChloroSeq, an Optimized Chloroplast RNA-Seq Bioinformatic Pipeline, Reveals Remodeling of the Organellar Transcriptome Under Heat Stress

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Although RNA-Seq has revolutionized transcript analysis, organellar transcriptomes are rarely assessed even when present in published datasets. Here, we describe the development and application of a rapid and convenient method, ChloroSeq, to delineate ...
