Electron Microscopy Views of Dimorphic Chloroplasts in C4 Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 C4 plants enhance photosynthesis efficiency by concentrating CO2 to the site of Rubisco action. Chloroplasts in C4 plants exhibit structural dimorphism because thylakoid architectures vary depending on energy requirements. Advances in electron microscopy

Chloroplast Ca2+ Fluxes into and across Thylakoids Revealed by Thylakoid-Targeted Aequorin Probes [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2018 Chloroplasts require a fine-tuned control of their internal Ca2+ concentration, which is crucial for many aspects of photosynthesis and for other chloroplast-localized processes. Increasing evidence suggests that calcium regulation within chloroplasts also may influence Ca2+ signaling pathways in the cytosol.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Metarhizium anisopliae alleviates the phytotoxic effects of polyethylene nanoplastics (NP) and lead (Pb) in rice by decreasing Pb uptake, restoring antioxidant and hormonal equilibrium, and promoting growth. Additionally, the fungus modifies the rhizosphere microbiota, enhancing both contaminant tolerance and plant growth, thereby effectively ...

Protein Targeting Into the Thylakoid Membrane Through Different Pathways
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In higher plants, chloroplasts are essential semi-autonomous organelles with complex compartments. As part of these sub-organellar compartments, the sheet-like thylakoid membranes contain abundant light-absorbing chlorophylls bound to the light ...

Oxygen-evolving diatom thylakoid membranes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1998 Two protocols were developed that yielded purified oxygen-evolving thylakoid membranes from the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis. One protocol employed sonication, while the second involved French press lysis of protoplasts formed by brief culture of cells in a cation-depleted medium.

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy
BMEMat, EarlyView.Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Uni‐site ATP synthesis in thylakoids
FEBS Letters, 1990 Uni‐site ATP synthesis was measured with thylakoids. The membrane‐bound ATP‐synthase, CF0F1 was brought into the active, reduced state by illumination in the presence of thioredoxin, dithiothreitol and phosphate. This enzyme contains two tightly bound ATP per CFoF1. ATP was released from the enzyme when ADP was added in substoichiometric amounts during
