Quality Control of Photosystem II: The Mechanisms for Avoidance and Tolerance of Light and Heat Stresses are Closely Linked to Membrane Fluidity of the Thylakoids

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
When oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are exposed to excessive light and/or heat, Photosystem II is damaged and electron transport is blocked. In these events, reactive oxygen species, endogenous radicals and lipid peroxidation products generated by ...

Genetic and ultrastructural studies on an orange coloured chlorophyll mutant of winter rye (Secale cereale L.)

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The feature of the orange colour of young seedlings, which appeared in inbred generation S2 of a short straw form of winter rye cultivated in Jeleniec is described.

High Yield Non-detergent Isolation of Photosystem I-Light-harvesting Chlorophyll II Membranes from Spinach Thylakoids

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Background: Light-harvesting chlorophyll (LHC) II associates with photosystem (PS) I to form a PS I-LHC II supercomplex. Results: Treatment of thylakoid membranes with styrene-maleic acid copolymer allows isolation of PS I-LHC II membranes.

Quality Control of PSII: Behavior of PSII in the Highly Crowded Grana Thylakoids Under Excessive Light

open access: yesPlant and Cell Physiology, 2014
The grana thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts are crowded with PSII and the associated light-harvesting complexes (LHCIIs). They constitute supercomplexes, and often form semi-crystalline arrays in the grana. The crowded condition of the grana may be

Dietary thylakoids suppress blood glucose and modulate appetite-regulating hormones in pigs exposed to oral glucose tolerance test.

open access: yesClinical Nutrition, 2014
BACKGROUND & AIMS Dietary chloroplast thylakoids have previously been found to reduce food intake and body weight in animal models, and to change metabolic profiles in humans in mixed-food meal studies.

An Imported Thylakoid Protein Accumulates in the Stroma When Insertion into Thylakoids is Inhibited

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1989
The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHCP) is synthesized in the cytosol as a precursor (pLHCP) that is imported into chloroplasts and assembled into thylakoid membranes. Under appropriate conditions, either pLHCP or LHCP will integrate into isolated thylakoids.

Alteration in the Acyl Lipid Composition of Thylakoids Induced by Aging and Its Effect on Thylakoid Structure [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1982
The alteration in both the lipid composition and chlorophyll proteins obtained by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of detergent solubilized thylakoids was investigated on differentially aged spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts.

Fast Diffusion of the Unassembled PetC1-GFP Protein in the Cyanobacterial Thylakoid Membrane

open access: yesLife, 2020
Biological membranes were originally described as a fluid mosaic with uniform distribution of proteins and lipids. Later, heterogeneous membrane areas were found in many membrane systems including cyanobacterial thylakoids.

Loss of the SPHF homologue Slr1768 leads to a catastrophic failure in the maintenance of thylakoid membranes in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
In cyanobacteria the photosystems are localised to, and maintained in, specialist membranes called the thylakoids. The mechanism driving the biogenesis of the thylakoid membranes is still an open question, with only two potential biogenesis factors ...

Correlation between Chloroplast Ultrastructure and Chlorophyll Fluorescence Characteristics in the Leaves of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Grown under Salinity

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2008
The seedlings of Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare grown by hydroponic culture for 3 wks were treated with 75, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl for 14, 14, 6 and 3 days, respectively, and examined for chloroplast ultrastructure in the region where chlorophyll ...
