Transport of proteins into secondary plastids [PDF]
, 2012 Secondary plastids can be found in many unrelated groups of organisms among three supergroups - Excavata, Rhizaria and Chromista. Primary plastids in contrast are unique and defining feature of the Archaeplastida supergroup.

Isolation of Carrot Chromoplasts and Assessment of Their Carotenoid Content and Bioaccessibility
MoleculesThe bioaccessibility (fraction of compounds released from the food matrix and available for absorption) and carotenoid content of carrot chromoplasts obtained through high-speed centrifugation using sucrose gradients were assessed.

Regulation of Expression and Evolution of Genes in Plastids of Rhodophytic Branch
Life, 2016 A novel algorithm and original software were used to cluster all proteins encoded in plastids of 72 species of the rhodophytic branch. The results are publicly available at http://lab6.iitp.ru/ppc/redline72/ in a database that allows fast identification ...

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.

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

On the nature of thiamine triphosphate in Arabidopsis
Plant Direct, 2020 Vitamin B1 is a family of molecules, the most renowned member of which is diphosphorylated thiamine (TDP)—a coenzyme vital for the activity of key enzymes of energy metabolism.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Autophagy is a highly conserved system that delivers cytoplasmic components to lysosomes/vacuoles. Plastids are also degraded through autophagy for nutrient recycling and quality control; however, the involvement of autophagic degradation of plastids in ...

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.

Rethinking plastid evolution [PDF]
EMBO reports, 2010 How easy is it to acquire an organelle? How easy is it to lose one? These questions underpin the current debate about the evolution of the plastid—that is, chloroplast—the organelle of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. The origin of the plastid has been traced to an endosymbiosis between a eukaryotic host cell and a cyanobacterial symbiont, the ...
