The secretory (Sec) pathway is one of the most important systems for transporting proteins across the thylakoid membrane into the lumen. Two Arabidopsis genes encoding SecY translocon proteins, designated SCY1 and SCY2, were characterized in this study ...

Multimodal Nonlinear Microscope based on a Compact Fiber-format Laser Source [PDF]
We present a multimodal non-linear optical (NLO) laser-scanning microscope, based on a compact fiber-format excitation laser and integrating coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and two-photon-excitation fluorescence (TPEF) on a single platform.

The use of an automated organism tracking microscope in mesocosm experiments
Abstract A method for automatically counting and measuring sizes and motility behavior of zooplankton and phytoplankton in water samples is presented. Two video cameras are focused on separate optical chambers of different sizes. The chambers are filled and emptied repeatedly by synchronized pumps.

Chloroplast microsatellites: measures of genetic diversity and the effect of homoplasy [PDF]
Chloroplast microsatellites have been widely used in population genetic studies of conifers in recent years. However, their haplotype configurations suggest that they could have high levels of homoplasy, thus limiting the power of these molecular markers.

How a simple chloroplast psbA gene mutation changed world agriculture [PDF]
Atrazine as a weed control tactic profoundly changed world agriculture. Long-term use revealed resistant biotypes, R, with a single base pair mutation of the chloroplast psbA gene. The R phenotype emerged from a sequential cascade of pleiotropic effects from the plastid to the whole plant.

In addition to angiosperms, most plants are able to synthesize chlorophyll (Chl)-generating green tissues in total darkness. In this study, 140 plants of the angiosperm Pachira macrocarpa were divided into five groups. Among them, one group was grown for

Natural recovery of genetic diversity by gene flow in reforested areas of the endemic Canary Island pine, Pinus canariensis [PDF]
The endemic pine, Pinus canariensis, forms one of the main forest ecosystems in the Canary Islands. In this archipelago, pine forest is a mosaic of natural stands (remnants of past forest overexploitation) and artificial stands planted from the 1940's. The genetic makeup of the artificially regenerated forest is of some concern. The use of reproductive

Chloroplast microsatellites reveal colonization and metapopulation dynamics in the Canary Island pine [PDF]
Chloroplast microsatellites are becoming increasingly popular markers for population genetic studies in plants, but there has been little focus on their potential for demographic inference. In this work the utility of chloroplast microsatellites for the study of population expansions was explored.
