Eukaryotic algae have long served as model systems for analyses of circadian (daily)
rhythms of many phenomena, including rhythmic gene expression, cell division timing …

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a useful model organism for investigating
diverse biological processes, such as photosynthesis and chloroplast biogenesis, flagella …

Circadian clocks allow plants to temporally coordinate many aspects of their biology with the
diurnal cycle derived from the rotation of Earth on its axis. Although there is a rich history of …

In earlier studies, the assimilation of selenate by plants appeared to be limited by its
reduction, a step that is thought to be mediated by ATP sulfurylase. Here, the Arabidopsis …

As an important component of marine phytoplankton, diatoms must be able to cope with
large changes in illumination on a daily basis. They have an active xanthophyll cycle and …

We have constructed a dominant selectable marker for nuclear transformation of C.
reinhardtii, composed of the coding sequence of the eubacterial aadA gene (conferring …

Different intensities of high temperatures affect the growth of photosynthetic cells in nature.
To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we cultivated the unicellular green alga …

Selenium (Se) phytovolatilization, the process by which plants metabolize various inorganic
or organic species of Se (eg selenate, selenite, and Se-methionine [Met]) into gaseous Se …

To compensate for increases in photon flux density (PFD), photosynthetic organisms
possess mechanisms for reversibly modulating their photosynthetic apparatus to minimize …

Levels of mRNA for the chloroplast-encoded elongation factor Tu (tufA) showed a dramatic
daily oscillation in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, peaking once each day in the …
