Light-Induced Infrared Difference Spectroscopy in the Investigation of Light Harvesting Complexes

Molecules, 2015
Light-induced infrared difference spectroscopy (IR-DS) has been used, especially in the last decade, to investigate early photophysics, energy transfer and photoprotection mechanisms in isolated and membrane-bound light harvesting complexes (LHCs).

Thylakoid membrane function in heterocysts

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2016
Multicellular cyanobacteria form different cell types in response to environmental stimuli. Under nitrogen limiting conditions a fraction of the vegetative cells in the filament differentiate into heterocysts. Heterocysts are specialized in atmospheric nitrogen fixation and differentiation involves drastic morphological changes on the cellular level ...

Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Three-Dimensional Architecture of Grana and Stroma Thylakoids of Higher Plants as Determined by Electron Tomography1[W][OA]

Plant Physiology, 2011
We have investigated the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the thylakoid membranes of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) with a resolution of approximately 7 nm by electron tomography of ...

Structural insights into θ‐type carbonic anhydrases 3 and 4: Tuning the directionality of CO2 hydration in a diatom

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
θ‐CA3 from a marine diatom has an N‐terminal transmembrane helix and two homologous catalytic domains. The enzyme functions as a dimer, with active sites formed near the dimer interface. A bicarbonate ion binds on the symmetry axis of the dimer and forms hydrogen bonds with both monomers, thereby activating θ‐CA3 and tuning CO2 hydration activity ...

SIB1‐SEC23A undergo ER to chloroplast relocalization to mediate immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
SEC23A mediates membrane trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus and interacts with the immunity protein SIGMA FACTOR‐BINDING PROTEIN1 in Arabidopsis. Under stress, both proteins relocate from the ER to chloroplasts, suppressing photosynthesis genes and enhancing defense genes.

The Kinase STATE TRANSITION 8 Phosphorylates Light Harvesting Complex II and Contributes to Light Acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Phosphorylation of the light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) is a central trigger for the reorganization of the photosynthetic complexes in the thylakoid membrane during short-term light acclimation.

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Subcellular Localization of Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The biosynthesis pathway of carotenoids in cyanobacteria is partly described. However, the subcellular localization of individual steps is so far unknown. Carotenoid analysis of different membrane subfractions in Synechocystis sp.

Uncovering the role of the PPR protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR6 in splicing chloroplast group II introns

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The P‐class pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR (PBF6) forms splicing complexes with other known splicing factors to facilitate chloroplast intron splicing. PBF6 cooperates with other PPR splicing factors to promote the splicing of the same intron through forming respective splicing complexes.
