Photoacclimation of cryptophytes and diatoms to light variability in the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Abstract Meltwater stratification during austral summer along the rapidly warming Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) exposes coastal phytoplankton to sudden light shifts. Such variability is thought to modulate phytoplankton dynamics, yet the photoacclimation capacity of Antarctic phytoplankton, especially cryptophytes, remains unclear.

Conjugated PDT drug: Photosensitizing activity and tissue distribution of PEGylated pheophorbidea [PDF]
The design of new photosensitizers with enhanced phototoxicity and pharmacokinetic properties remains a central challenge for cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, Pheophorbide a (Pba) has been pegylated to methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPE G-Pba) to produce a soluble photosensitizer that exhibits a higher tissue distribution than free Pba ...

Chlorophyll-a transformations associated with sinking diatoms during termination of a North Atlantic spring bloom [PDF]
A research cruise in the North Atlantic during the annual diatom bloom provided an ideal platform to study chlorophyll-a (chl-a) transformations associated with a large scale diatom bloom and export below the photic zone.

Propagation of cell death in dropdead1, a sorghum ortholog of the maize lls1 mutant. [PDF]
We describe dropdead1-1 (ded1), an EMS-induced recessive lesion mimic mutant of sorghum. It is characterized by the formation of spreading necrotic lesions that share many attributes with those associated with the maize lethal leaf spot1 (lls1) and ...

Characteristics of the tomato chromoplast revealed by proteomic analysis [PDF]
Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic specialized plastids that are important in ripening tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) since, among other functions, they are the site of accumulation of coloured compounds.
