Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Plastome and microsatellite data reveal strong population structure but low genetic diversity in the fully mycoheterotrophic herb Burmannia nepalensis across subtropical China. Multiple glacial refugia and recent population decline highlight the roles of geographic isolation, climatic history, and human disturbance in shaping the biodiversity of ...

The Conservation of VIT1-Dependent Iron Distribution in Seeds
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 One third of people suffer from anemia, with iron (Fe) deficiency being the most common reason. The human diet includes seeds of staple crops, which contain Fe that is poorly bioavailable.

A Sec14 domain protein is required for photoautotrophic growth and chloroplast vesicle formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2020 In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and maintained is poorly understood.

Arabidopsis AUGMIN8 Contains Two Independent Microtubule Association Domains
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant cells create a plasma membrane‐associated network of microtubules that are nucleated by γ‐tubulin ring complexes primarily through microtubule‐dependent microtubule nucleation (MDMN). This dynamic array organizes into specific patterns in response to developmental and environmental cues to influence primary cell wall construction.

Novel Plastid-Nuclear Genome Combinations Enhance Resistance to Citrus Canker in Cybrid Grapefruit
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Host disease resistance is the most desirable strategy for control of citrus canker, a disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri. However, no resistant commercial citrus cultivar has been identified.

Secondary Structure of Chloroplast mRNAs In Vivo and In Vitro
Plants, 2020 mRNA secondary structure can influence gene expression, e.g., by influencing translation initiation. The probing of in vivo mRNA secondary structures is therefore necessary to understand what determines the efficiency and regulation of gene expression ...

The gateway to chloroplast: re-defining the function of chloroplast receptor proteins [PDF]
, 2012 Chloroplast biogenesis often requires a tight orchestration between gene expression (both plastidial and nuclear) and translocation of similar to 3000 nuclear-encoded proteins into the organelle.
