Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

On Being the Right Size as an Animal with Plastids [PDF]
, 2017 Plastids typically reside in plant or algal cells—with one notable exception. There is one group of multicellular animals, sea slugs in the order Sacoglossa, members of which feed on siphonaceous algae.

Expression of the chloroplast genome: modern concepts and experimental approaches
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015 A unique feature of plants is the presence of two extranuclear genomes, chloroplasts and mitochondria. The chloroplast genome is relatively small, 100–120 genes, which encode less than 5 % of all proteins required for plastids to function.

BMC Biology, 2020 Background Plastid electron transport systems are essential not only for photosynthesis but also for dissipating excess reducing power and sinking excess electrons generated by various redox reactions.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Plastids in the leaf epidermal cells of plants are regarded as immature chloroplasts that, like mesophyll chloroplasts, undergo binary fission. While mesophyll chloroplasts have generally been used to study plastid division, recent studies have suggested

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Vitamin B6 is a critical molecule for plant metabolism and development. Rsr4‐1, a loss‐of‐function mutant in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis gene, has a distinct short root phenotype. Here we describe five novel suppressor mutants with an rsr4‐1 background that have normalized root growth and distinct phenotypic and molecular characteristics, representing a ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The change in developmental fate of microspores reprogrammed towards embryogenesis is a complex but fascinating experimental system where microspores undergo dramatic changes derived from the developmental switch.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Organisms that have lost their photosynthetic capabilities are present in a variety of eukaryotic lineages, such as plants and disparate algal groups. Most of such non-photosynthetic eukaryotes still carry plastids, as these organelles retain essential ...

Exchange of Protein Molecules Through Connections Between Higher Plant Plastids
, 1997 Individual plastids of vascular plants have generally been considered to be discrete autonomous entities that do not directly communicate with each other.
