Plants are subject to a wide range of abiotic stresses, and their cuticular wax layer provides
a protective barrier, which consists predominantly of long‐chain hydrocarbon compounds …

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) constitute a highly efficient form of energy storage. In seeds of
angiosperms, they can act as a reserve of carbon and energy allowing to fuel post …

In plants, fatty acids are de novo synthesized predominantly in plastids from acetyl-
coenzyme A. Although fatty acid biosynthesis has been biochemically well studied, little is …

To characterize MDa-sized macromolecular chloroplast stroma protein assemblies and to
extend coverage of the chloroplast stroma proteome, we fractionated soluble chloroplast …

The PHO1 family comprises 11 members in Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to decipher the
role of these genes in inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport and homeostasis …

Oleaginous microalgae hold great promises for biofuel production. However,
commercialization of microalgal biofuels remains impracticable due to the lack of suitable …

A vacuolar acid phosphatase (APase) that accumulates during phosphate (Pi) starvation of
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) suspension cells was purified to homogeneity. The final …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR), initiated by a plant upon recognition of microbial
effectors, involves generation of a mobile signal at the primary infection site, which …

Seeds provide humans with much of their diet and have been targets for improvement for
millennia. The recent development of a range of methodologies for investigating the control …

Algae and plants carry 2 organelles of endosymbiotic origin that have been co-evolving in
their host cells for more than a billion years. The biology of plastids and mitochondria can …
