The respiratory pathways of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and mitochondrial
electron transport chain (miETC) are central features of carbon metabolism and …

Stress resilience behaviours in plants are defensive mechanisms that develop under
adverse environmental conditions to promote growth, development and yield. Over the past …

The genomes of cytoplasmic organelles (mitochondria and plastids) are maternally inherited
in most eukaryotes, thus excluding organellar genomes from the benefits of sexual …

Metazoan cells harness the power of actin dynamics to create cytoskeletal arrays that
stimulate protrusions and drive intracellular organelle movements. In plant cells, the actin …

PEX genes encode proteins, termed peroxins, that are required for the biogenesis and
proliferation of microbodies (peroxisomes). We have screened the available protein and …

Organelle movement is essential for proper function of living cells. In plants, these
movements generally depend on actin filaments, but the underlying mechanism is unknown …

Life on earth relies upon photosynthesis, which consumes carbon dioxide and generates
oxygen and carbohydrates. Photosynthesis is sustained by a dynamic environment within …

A prominent feature of plant cells is the rapid, incessant movement of the organelles
traditionally defined as cytoplasmic streaming and attributed to actomyosin motility. We …

Chloroplasts change their intracellular distribution in response to light intensity. Previously,
we isolated the chloroplast unusual positioning1 (chup1) mutant of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis …

Flowering plants have evolved multigene families of the class XI myosin motors, the
functions of which remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated functional profiles of the …
