Harnessing plant‐based platform for low‐cost cellulosic sugar recovery from bioenergy crops
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The price of pure cellulase enzyme for the recovery of fermentable cellulosic sugars is one of the major challenges that limit the commercialization of second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products. This work shows a means to greatly reduce the cost of cellulases. The abundant capacity of plants to synthesize and hyperaccumulate transgenic

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.

Chimeric origins of ochrophytes and haptophytes revealed through an ancient plastid proteome
eLife, 2017 Plastids are supported by a wide range of proteins encoded within the nucleus and imported from the cytoplasm. These plastid-targeted proteins may originate from the endosymbiont, the host, or other sources entirely.

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.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Many groups of flowering plants have become parasites and have lost the capacity to carry out photosynthesis. The plastid genomes of these parasitic plants are often highly reduced in size and gene content and are divergent in other ways too.

Evolution: The plasticity of plastids
Current Biology, 2023 Many chloroplast-bearing plants and algae lost their photosynthetic activity during evolution but retained their chloroplasts for other functions. A group of dinoflagellate algae apparently lost one half of their photosynthetic machinery but retained the other, providing a novel mechanism for light perception.

Tissue and organelle targeted transgene expression in plants [PDF]
, 2003 This research develops systems for tissue and organelle targeted transgene expression in commercial strawberry. Two approaches were taken to achieve this.

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.

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 ...
