Peroxisome biogenesis, protein targeting mechanisms and PEX gene functions in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Peroxisomes play diverse and important roles in plants. The functions of peroxisomes are dependent upon their steady state protein composition which in turn reflects the balance of formation and turnover of the organelle.

Knocking out the carboxyltransferase interactor 1 (CTI1) in Chlamydomonas boosted oil content by fivefold without affecting cell growth

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 1230-1242, April 2025.
Summary The first step in chloroplast de novo fatty acid synthesis is catalysed by acetyl‐CoA carboxylase (ACCase). As the rate‐limiting step for this pathway, ACCase is subject to both positive and negative regulation. In this study, we identify a Chlamydomonas homologue of the plant carboxyltransferase interactor 1 (CrCTI1) and show that this protein

A Eukaryote without Catalase-Containing Microbodies: Neurospora crassa Exhibits a Unique Cellular Distribution of Its Four Catalases

open access: yesEukaryotic Cell, 2006
Microbodies usually house catalase to decompose hydrogen peroxide generated within the organelle by the action of various oxidases. Here we have analyzed whether peroxisomes (i.e., catalase-containing microbodies) exist in Neurospora crassa.

Ascal ultrastructural study in Annulatascus hongkongensis sp. nov., a freshwater ascomycete [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
A new species of Annulatascus, A. hongkongenszs, is described from freshwater habitats. This species differs from other Annulatascus species as ascospores are ellipsoidal, 3-septate, verruculose and are surrounded by a thick mucilaginous sheath ...

Woronin body protein UvHex1 is essential for pathogenesis, and contributes to conidiation, cell stress response, lipid metabolism, and mycotoxins production in rice false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virens

open access: yesPhytopathology Research
Woronin bodies (WBs) are unique single-membrane microbodies derived from peroxisomes found in fungi within the Pezizomycotina subphylum. WBs can seal hyphal septa to prevent cytoplasmic leakage upon hyphal damage. The hexagonal peroxisomal protein, Hex1,

Role of aconitase in plant stress response and signaling

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Mitochondria are the centres of carbon and energy metabolism in cells and are functionally integrated with other organelles. Under environmental stress, disturbances in organellar functions trigger stress signals that activate the necessary metabolic responses and maintain cell redox homeostasis.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Antioxidant Systems in Enhancing Plant Resilience Against Abiotic Stress

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are central to plant responses under abiotic stress, acting as both damaging agents and signaling molecules. This study explores the balance between ROS production, oxidative damage, and the antioxidant defense mechanisms in plants.

Unlocking Wheat Drought Tolerance: The Synergy of Omics Data and Computational Intelligence

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 13, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
ABSTRACT Currently, approximately 4.5 billion people in developing countries consider bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as a staple food crop, as it is a key source of daily calories. Wheat is, therefore, ranked the second most important grain crop in the developing world. Climate change associated with severe drought conditions and rising global mean

THE ORIGIN AND FATE OF MICROBODIES IN THE FAT BODY OF AN INSECT

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1971
The structure and life history of insect microbodies are described during the development of the fat body from the 4th to 5th larval molt through the 5th to pupal molt.
