In Arabidopsis thaliana Substrate Recognition and Tissue- as Well as Plastid Type-Specific Expression Define the Roles of Distinct Small Subunits of Isopropylmalate Isomerase

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the heterodimeric isopropylmalate isomerase (IPMI) is composed of a single large (IPMI LSU1) and one of three different small subunits (IPMI SSU1 to 3). The function of IPMI is defined by the small subunits. IPMI SSU1 is required

Large-Scale Phylogenomic Analyses Indicate a Deep Origin of Primary Plastids within Cyanobacteria

open access: yes, 2011
International audienceThe emergence of photosynthetic eukaryotes has played a crucial role in evolution and has strongly modified earth's ecology. Several phylogenetic analyses have established that primary plastids arose from a cyanobacterium through ...

Dual Cytoplasmic and Chloroplastic Mechanisms Fine‐Tune Chloroplast Division through ARC3 Protein Stability

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ARC3 levels are controlled by cytosolic and chloroplast proteolytic systems. PUB52 mediates ARC3 precursor ubiquitination and degradation in the cytosol, while CLPC1 promotes ARC3 degradation in chloroplasts, where ARC2 protects ARC3 from excessive breakdown. Disrupting these components causes chloroplast division defects, placing them upstream of ARC3.

Ultraviolet screening by slug tissue and tight packing of plastids protect photosynthetic sea slugs from photoinhibition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
One of the main mysteries regarding photosynthetic sea slugs is how the slug plastids handle photoinhibition, the constant light-induced damage to Photosystem II of photosynthesis.

A Modular PLUG‐IN Photosynthetic Chassis With Tunable Thermal Control for Mammalian Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work establishes a “plug‐in” chassis compatible with mammalian systems that synchronizes growth, production, and cell‐wall re‐configuration, providing a versatile platform for photosynthetic bioproduction and microalgal synthetic biology. ABSTRACT Microalgae are promising photosynthetic platforms for high‐value compounds, yet their industrial use ...

Ultrastructural changes during megasporogenesis in Epipactis (Orchidaceae)

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Plastids were temporarily localized within the micropylar portion of the early first prophase Epipactis meiocyte. Some of these plastids were observed in close proximity to the nuclear envelope.

Ancient hybridization and phylogenetic discordance: Exploring evolutionary complexity in Asteraceae

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Conflicting phylogenetic signals are common in plant phylogenomics and often reflect evolutionary histories shaped by processes like hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting, and whole‐genome duplication (WGD). We aimed to identify and assess these complex processes in the hyper‐diverse family Asteraceae to offer insight into the ...

The origin of plastids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Organelles, called plastids, are the main sites of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. Chloroplasts, as well as any other pigment containing cytoplasmic organelles that enables the harvesting and conversion of light and carbon dioxide into food and ...

Photoprotection and genetic autonomy of plastids in photosynthetic sea slugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Certain sea slugs “steal” the photosynthetic cellular organelles, the plastids, from their prey algae and incorporate them, still functional, inside their own cells. These animals can then remain photosynthetic for months.

Leveraging target enrichment and genome skimming (Hyb‐Seq) of herbarium collections to unlock timber DNA barcoding

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise DNA barcoding for timber species identification requires comprehensive reference datasets, informative DNA barcodes, and cost‐effective protocols. We developed a workflow leveraging Hyb‐Seq (target capture sequencing and genome skimming) to address these challenges, and we tested it on four genera from the mahogany family (Meliaceae ...
