- Ubiquitin-dependent chloroplast-associated protein degradation in plants
A retrotranslocation system in the chloroplast envelope allows cytosolic degradation of chloroplast outer-envelope proteins by the proteasome
- The new potato
Breeders seek a breakthrough to help farmers facing an uncertain future.
- A regulatory circuit conferring varied flowering response to cold in annual and perennial plants
Annual and perennial plants diverge in flowering behavior by varying the balance between shared flowering-control pathways.
- Structural adaptations of photosynthetic complex I enable ferredoxin-dependent electron transfer
A proton-pumping machine in photosynthesis uses the common electron carrier ferredoxin.
- Synthetic glycolate metabolism pathways stimulate crop growth and productivity in the field
Tobacco plants carrying engineered glycolate metabolic pathways showed as much as 40% greater productivity than wild-type plants in field trials.
