Modulation of oxidative metabolism and quality preservation of strawberries by a CMC–alginate bilayer edible coating during cold storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Strawberries are highly perishable fruits characterized by rapid postharvest deterioration, leading to significant quality losses and reduced marketability. In this study, a bilayer edible coating based on carboxymethylcellulose and sodium alginate was evaluated for its ability to preserve strawberry quality during cold storage ...

Two centuries of Begonia exploration in the Philippines: Progress and challenges associated with a megadiverse genus in the Global South

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

A composite, host‐participatory haustorium links host compatibility to defence bifurcation in Alectra vogelii (Orobanchaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae are among the most damaging constraints on food production in the tropics, draining water and nutrients from their hosts and threatening the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. Yellow witchweed (Alectra vogelii) can destroy entire legume harvests across sub‐Saharan Africa, where these crops are a ...

A contemplation on the secondary origin of green algal and plant plastids

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
A single origin of plastids and the monophyly of three “primary” plastid-containing groups – the Chloroplastida (or Viridiplantae; green algae+land plants), Rhodophyta, and Glaucophyta – are widely accepted, mainstream hypotheses that form the basis for ...

Plastid Division and Development [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 1999
Plastids are an important group of plant cellular organelles and comprise one of the primary features that distinguish plant cells from those of other eukaryotes. Plastids are thought to have arisen as a result of an endosymbiotic event in which an early photosynthetic prokaryote invaded a ...

In planta analysis of the mode of action of cinmethylin and confirmation of fatty acyl‐ACP thioesterases (FATs) as primary site of action

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
In planta analysis of the mode of action of cinmethylin and confirmation of fatty acyl‐ACP thioesterases (FATs) as primary site of action. Cinmethylin inhibits FATs, disrupting eukaryotic de novo lipid biosynthesis and causing defects in cell division, elongation and integrity. We confirm FATs as the primary site of action in planta.

Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

HGTScanner: Detecting horizontal gene transfer at the fine scale using whole organelle genomes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has profoundly shaped eukaryotic organellar genomes like plant mitochondria. Yet no generalized tools are currently available to efficiently characterize HGT across these genomes due to both high structural complexity and low sequence divergence compared to prokaryotic HGTs.

Plastid Envelope-Localized Proteins Exhibit a Stochastic Spatiotemporal Relationship to Stromules

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plastids in the viridiplantae sporadically form thin tubules called stromules that increase the interactive surface between the plastid and the surrounding cytoplasm.

Characteristics of the tomato chromoplast revealed by proteomic analysis [PDF]

, 2010
Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic specialized plastids that are important in ripening tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) since, among other functions, they are the site of accumulation of coloured compounds.
