The rotational model: a new hypothesis for thylakoid stacking

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2016
The most enigmatic feature of mature thylakoids of Angiosperms is the presence of piles of membranous discs forming the cylindrical structures known as grana.

Natural Variation in TaFAD8‐D Promoter Enhances Thermotolerance in Wheat Through Fatty Acid and Lipid Remodelling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) has become an increasing threat to wheat productivity under global warming. However, the genetic loci for thermotolerance and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, genetic mapping identified a thermotolerance locus, QMpe.cau‐2D, encoding fatty acid desaturase 8 (FAD8), with the transposable

Transmission Electron Microscopy for Tobacco Chloroplast Ultrastructure

Bio-Protocol, 2015
The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis that enabled and sustains aerobic life on Earth. Chloroplasts are relatively large organelles with a diameter of ~5 μm and width of ~2.5 μm, and so can be readily analysed by electron microscopy.

ZmTH1 Is Vital for Healthy Plant Growth and Promotes Cold/Drought Tolerance by Regulating Thiamin Diphosphate‐Dependent Metabolisms in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.

Plant Lipid Droplets and Derived Lipidic Nano‐Assemblies: Structure, Biogenesis and Pharmaceutical Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter‐organelle communication.

Heat Shock Transcription Factor OsHsfc1a Enhances Rice Seedling Thermotolerance by Regulating OsMFT1 and Preserving Chloroplast Structure Under Heat Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐temperature stress severely threatens rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and productivity, particularly during the seedling stage, making heat tolerance an essential breeding target. In this study, we identified the heat shock transcription factor OsHsfc1a as a positive regulator of thermotolerance in rice seedlings.

A Chemical Probe for Increasing Leaf Tocopherol Levels by Coordinated Modulation of Biosynthesis, Competition and Storage

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to
