Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

Phycobilisomes: modular light‐harvesting systems of cyanobacteria and red algae

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are supramolecular pigment–protein complexes that function as the principal light‐harvesting antennae in cyanobacteria, red algae (Rhodophyta), and glaucophytes, and to a lesser extent in cryptophytes. Because the intrinsic chlorophyll‐based antennae of the photosystems absorb poorly in the green region of the spectrum ...

Multicolor and Attenuated Light Intensity Responses in Protein Hydrogels Arising from Photoregulated Crosslink Dynamics

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 31, 27 July 2026.
A fully protein‐based hydrogel integrated two orthogonal photoreceptors to enable reversible manipulation of stiffness with red/far‐red light and irreversible gel‐sol transitions with green light. Unexpectedly, high‐intensity red light results in attenuated stiffening and dark‐adaptation, arising from increased crosslinking dynamics in the ...

The transcriptional response of Arabidopsis leaves to Fe deficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Due to its ease to donate or accept electrons, iron (Fe) plays a crucial role in respiration and metabolism, including tetrapyrrole synthesis, in virtually all organisms.

Strain‐Specific Biotransformation of Grape Marc by Lactic Acid Bacteria: Genomic Validation and Gut Microbiota Modulation

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Grape marc (GM) is a polyphenol‐rich winery byproduct that remains underutilized due to its complex fiber matrix, which limits the bioaccessibility of bound phenolics. While lactic acid fermentation (LAF) can enhance the release of these compounds, the strain‐specific metabolic fate of GM phenolics during digestion and colonic fermentation ...

The Arabidopsis translocator protein (AtTSPO) is regulated at multiple levels in response to salt stress and perturbations in tetrapyrrole metabolism

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2011
Background The translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO), previously known as the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), is important for many cellular functions in mammals and bacteria, such as steroid biosynthesis, cellular respiration, cell ...

Pharmacological chaperone reshapes the energy landscape for folding and aggregation of the prion protein

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Small-molecule chaperones that can prevent protein misfolding have potential applications for treating diseases such as Alzheimer’s and ALS. Here the authors use high-resolution force spectroscopy to gain insight into the mechanism of action of an iron ...
