Natural Variation in TaFAD8‐D Promoter Enhances Thermotolerance in Wheat Through Fatty Acid and Lipid Remodelling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) has become an increasing threat to wheat productivity under global warming. However, the genetic loci for thermotolerance and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, genetic mapping identified a thermotolerance locus, QMpe.cau‐2D, encoding fatty acid desaturase 8 (FAD8), with the transposable

Membranous Interacting Partners of Phage-Type Plastid RNA Polymerase Have Limited Impact on Plastid Gene Expression During Chloroplast Development. [PDF]

Plant Direct
ABSTRACT In vascular plants, genes in the plastid genome are transcribed by two types of RNA polymerases, namely, phage‐type nuclear‐encoded and bacterial‐type plastid‐encoded plastid RNA polymerases (NEP and PEP, respectively). Eudicots, including Arabidopsis, carry two isoforms of NEP, RPOTp and RPOTmp.

ZmTH1 Is Vital for Healthy Plant Growth and Promotes Cold/Drought Tolerance by Regulating Thiamin Diphosphate‐Dependent Metabolisms in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.

Genome evolution of a tertiary dinoflagellate plastid.

PLoS ONE, 2011
The dinoflagellates have repeatedly replaced their ancestral peridinin-plastid by plastids derived from a variety of algal lineages ranging from green algae to diatoms. Here, we have characterized the genome of a dinoflagellate plastid of tertiary origin

Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering of Microalgae for Sustainable Lipid and Terpenoid Production: An Updated Perspective

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are increasingly recognised as powerful platforms for the sustainable production of lipids and terpenoids, with expanding applications in the food, fuel and biomanufacturing industries. In this updated review, we consolidate and critically assess the most recent advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of key ...

Spatial and temporal characterization of the rich fraction of plastid DNA present in the nuclear genome of Moringa oleifera reveals unanticipated complexity in NUPTs´ formation

BMC Genomics
Background Beyond the massive amounts of DNA and genes transferred from the protoorganelle genome to the nucleus during the endosymbiotic event that gave rise to the plastids, stretches of plastid DNA of varying size are still being copied and relocated ...

Plant Lipid Droplets and Derived Lipidic Nano‐Assemblies: Structure, Biogenesis and Pharmaceutical Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter‐organelle communication.

Artificial Mutations in the Nuclear Gene Encoding Mitochondrial RNA Polymerase Restore Pollen Fertility in Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Tomato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and restorer of fertility (Rf) are important traits in F1 hybrid breeding. However, the CMS/Rf system has not been used in tomatoes because of the limited resources of Rf lines. In this study, we performed mutagenesis in tomato CMS seeds and successfully obtained 13 suppressor mutants with pollen fertility ...

Heterologous Production of Forskolin in Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) via Glandular Trichome Specific Engineering and Metabolic Flux Redirection

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants are promising bioreactor for the sustainable and scalable production of high‐value natural bioactive compounds, because they can synthesise phytochemicals from CO2, light, water and minerals through their innate photosynthetic carbon assimilation machinery.
