Do plastid envelope membranes play a role in the expression of the plastid genome?

, 1999
International audienceA unique biochemical machinery is present within the two envelope membranes surrounding plastids (Joyard et al., Plant Physiol. 118 (1998) 715-723) that reflects the stage of development of the plastid and the specific metabolic ...

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...

Microscopic Analyses of Fruit Cell Plastid Development in Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) during Fruit Ripening

Molecules, 2019
Plastids are sites for carotenoid biosynthesis and accumulation, but detailed information on fruit plastid development and its relation to carotenoid accumulation remains largely unclear.

Visualisation of plastid degradation in sperm cells of wheat pollen

, 2016
Like most angiosperms, wheat (Triticum aestivum) shows maternal inheritance of plastids. It is thought that this takes place by cytoplasmic stripping at fertilisation rather than the absence of plastids in sperm cells.

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

ChloroExtractor: A fully automated plastid assembly pipeline reveals dozens of novel plastid genomes

, 2014
In times of large scale high troughput sequencing, novel plastid genomes mostly emerge from host genome sequencing projects. Here we present ChloroExtractor, a fully automated pipeline designed to generate high quality plastid assemblies from ...

A phylogenetic mosaic plastid proteome and unusual plastid-targeting signals in the green-colored dinoflagellate Lepidodinium chlorophorum [PDF]

, 2010
Background Plastid replacements through secondary endosymbioses include massive transfer of genes from the endosymbiont to the host nucleus and require a new targeting system to enable transport of the plastid-targeted proteins across 3-4

Chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of Sphaerosorus coelastroides Pascher (Xanthophyceae) from Central Appalachia, Clinch River, Virginia, United States

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract This report describes the isolation and culture of Sphaerosorus coelastroides from the plankton of a freshwater river in the central Appalachian mountain chain. This alga was first observed in a dry freshwater riverbed in Central Europe in 1908 and, since then, has been included in Xanthophyceae surveys from nearly all continents with ...

Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.
