Reactive oxygen species, antioxidants and the regulation of plant development

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The regulation of axillary bud outgrowth by the interplay between phytohormone and redox signals. Axillary bud outgrowth is regulated by cellular energy status and the balance between phytohormones, notably abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA).

Formation and excretion of autophagic plastids (plastolysomes) in Brassica napus embryogenic microspores

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.

Structural and mutational analysis of Methanosarcina mazei prenylated FMN synthase reveals the basis of its unique prenyl donor substrate specificity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Some prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) synthases exceptionally prefer dimethylallyl phosphate (DMAP) over dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which is a common prenyl donor substrate for many prenyltransferases. Structural and mutagenic analyses of Methanosarcina mazei prFMN synthase, which prefers DMAP but can also accept DMAPP, elucidated its ...

The physical and functional borders of transit peptide-like sequences in secondary endosymbionts

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Plastids rely on protein supply by their host cells. In plastids surrounded by two membranes (primary plastids) targeting of these proteins is facilitated by an N-terminal targeting signal, the transit peptide.

Rescue of pATOM36‐depleted T. brucei by human MTCH1/2 reveals common features of protein insertases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human MTCH1 and MTCH2 (with an N‐terminal extension) functionally complement the loss of pATOM36 in T. brucei, indicating that these evolutionarily distant proteins recognize a common set of substrates and share fundamental principles of mitochondrial outer membrane protein insertion. Structural analyses reveal a common hydrophilic cavity, supporting a

The induction of stromule formation by a plant DNA-virus in epidermal leaf tissues suggests a novel intra- and intercellular macromolecular trafficking route

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Stromules are dynamic thin protrusions of membrane envelope from plant cell plastids. Despite considerable progress in understanding the importance of certain cytoskeleton elements and motor proteins for stromule maintenance, their function within the ...

Recent advances in the genomics of sugarcane (Saccharum)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes advances in sugarcane genomics, evolution, classification, and breeding practices. It identifies key research bottlenecks and proposes an integrated research framework to facilitate predictive sugarcane breeding, which provides valuable references for genetic improvement of other complex polyploid crops.

Faithful transcription initiation from a mitochondrial promoter in transgenic plastids [PDF]

, 2007
The transcriptional machineries of plastids and mitochondria in higher plants exhibit striking similarities. All mitochondrial genes and part of the plastid genes are transcribed by related phage-type RNA polymerases.

Light signaling controls chloroplast pyruvate metabolism through the STF1/2–PKP1 module in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In soybean, light‐responsive proteins switch on GmPKP1, which boosts chloroplast pyruvate production. This increases pigments, photosynthesis, seed oil, pod number, and yield, revealing a new way that light boosts crop productivity. ABSTRACT Light signaling coordinates plant development with metabolism, but the link between photoreceptors and ...
