A forward genetic approach to isolate Arabidopsis mutants altered in the regulation of the ALDH7B4 gene
(2016-09-30)
The ALDH7B4 gene is a member of the ALDH super gene family which is known to be involved in stress tolerance, but the regulation of ALDHs was unknown. In the current studies, a forward genetic approach was used to propose ......
Potential of Complementary Methods for the Authentication of Herbal Substances and their Mixtures
(2015-10-22)
Herbal substances and preparations thereof play an important role in healthcare systems worldwide. An essential prerequisite for the safe and effective use of herbal medicines is the unequivocal identification of the plant ...
Phytol and Tocopherol Metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2015-12-04)
The ability of a plant to convert light energy into chemical energy relies on the integrity and functionality of the photosynthetic membranes of the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll is one of the key players in photosynthesis as ......
Characterization of Enzymes Involved in Lipid Biosynthesis from the Photosynthetic Bacteria Synechocystis PCC6803 and Blastochloris viridis
(2020-05-05)
Cyanobacteria are unicellular prokaryotic algae that perform oxidative photosynthesis similar to plants. The cells harbour thylakoid membranes composed of lipids related to those of chloroplasts in plants, to accommodate ...
Der Ranunculus-auricomus-Komplex in Deutschland westlich des Rheins
(2016-01-05)
Der gegenwärtige Stand der Erforschung der Gold-Hahnenfuß-Flora (Ranunculus auricomus agg.) in Deutschland westlich des Rheins (mit Ausnahme des Saarlandes) wird dargestellt. Eine taxonomische und pflanzengeografische ...
Proteins under the control of phospholipase D in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2016-05-12)
The phosphoproteome of the pldα1-mutant lacks a protein that is abundantly expressed in the wild type and has been identified as the unknown protein At5g39570.1. The characterization of this protein in the context of ...
Arabidopsis thaliana aldehyde dehydrogenases ALDH3H1 and ALDH3I1: cysteine mutations, S-nitrosylation and esterase activity
(2016-04-20)
S-nitrosylation is a posttranslational modification that is known to affect many biochemical processes in plants. In the current study the ability of NO donors to S-nitrosylate aldehyde dehydrogenases ALDH3H1 and ALDH3I1 ......
Molecular systematics and evolution of the non-photosynthetic parasitic Cistanche (Orobanchaceae)
(2017-11-16)
The parasitc Orobanchaceae have been the focus of few phylogenetic and systematic studies. While previous studies targeted on the genera Pedicularis, Orobanche and Euphrasia, here the phylogenetic relationships, systematics ...
The mechanisms of stress memory responses and translational regulation during dehydration and rehydration in the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum
(2020-05-25)
Dehydration stress is one of the major environmental factors affecting the survival rate and productivity of plants. Currently, many dehydration-induced genes and some dehydration-related protective mechanisms desiccation ......
Climate- and Human-Induced Vegetation Changes in Northwestern Turkey and the Southern Levant since the Last Glacial
(2017-04-20)
Northwestern Turkey and the southern Levant are key regions for studying vegetation and climate developments during migration phases of modern humans and the origin and expansion of agriculture. Both regions have a long ...
