On the Non-Oxygenic Origins of Thylakoids [PDF]
arXivThylakoid membranes are the site of oxygenic photosynthesis, one of the most important biochemical processes on earth. The ancestral state of these membranes is represented today in Gloeobacterales, where they are lacking and photosynthesis instead takes place in the cytoplasmic membrane.

Site of Prenylation Reaction in Synthesis of Phylloquinone (Vitamin K1) by Spinach Chloroplasts [PDF]
, 1981 In spinach chloroplasts, 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate is prenylated by phytyldiphosphate and subsequently methylated by S-adenosylmethionine to form phylloquinol.

Plant 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 ...

Entropy-assisted stacking of thylakoid membranes
Biochimica 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 ...

Plant 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 ...

Bio-Protocol, 2018 Metals are essential in many biological processes, including oxygenic photosynthesis. Here we described a method to measure the metal pool in whole cells and thylakoids, including the bioactive pool in intact photosynthetic protein complexes in the model

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