Genetic diversity and adaptive evolutionary history of Sapindus in China: insights from whole‐genome resequencing of 100 representative individuals

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Sapindus is an important forest tree genus with utility in biodiesel, biomedicine, biochemistry and forestry. Similar to many perennial crop plants, its breeding is hampered by long generation times and lack of genetic resources. To understand the genome evolution underlying the important bioeconomic traits, we carried out a common garden ...

Phosphorylation of chloroplast ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small subunit by an envelope-bound protein kinase in situ [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
A new protein kinase of the cAMP independent type was found to be bound to the outer envelope membrane of spinach chloroplasts. While stimulated by Mg2+ and inhibited by ADP, the enzyme showed no response to conventional protein substrates and was ...

Entropy-assisted stacking of thylakoid membranes

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2005
Chloroplasts in plants and some green algae contain a continuous thylakoid membrane system that is structurally differentiated into stacked granal membranes interconnected by unstacked thylakoids, the stromal lamellae. Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that the thermodynamic tendency to increase entropy in chloroplasts contributes to ...

Phosphorylation of MdWRKY70L by MdMPK6/02G mediates reactive oxygen accumulation to regulate apple fruit senescence

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a globally significant crop and a vital dietary component worldwide. During ripening, apples exhibit a longitudinal gradient, ripening first at the stalk cavity and extending towards the calyx concave. When the fruit is harvested at the right time or later, the stalk cavity of many varieties often shows over ...

FtsH Protease in the Thylakoid Membrane: Physiological Functions and the Regulation of Protease Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Protein homeostasis in the thylakoid membranes is dependent on protein quality control mechanisms, which are necessary to remove photodamaged and misfolded proteins.

ESSENTIAL MEIOTIC ENDONUCLEASE 1 is required for chloroplast development and DNA repair in rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Chloroplast development is fundamental to photosynthesis and plant growth but is sensitive to environmental stress. Chloroplast development and division require genome stability and DNA repair, but the underlying mechanisms have been unclear. Using a forward genetic approach, we identified the striped‐leaf mutant k48 in the rice (Oryza sativa L.

A fijivirus capsid protein hijacks autophagy degrading an ω‐3 fatty acid desaturase to suppress jasmonate‐mediated antiviral defence

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Plant viruses often suppress jasmonic acid (JA)‐mediated defences through disturbing JA signalling or biosynthesis pathways to benefit their own infection. Few studies have examined how the precursors of JA biosynthesis are regulated by viral infection.
