Ions play fundamental roles in all living cells, and their gradients are often essential to fuel
transport, regulate enzyme activities, and transduce energy within cells. Regulation of their …

Recent technical advances in electrophysiological measurements, organelle-targeted
fluorescence imaging, and organelle proteomics have pushed the research of ion transport …

The photosynthetic light reaction takes place within the thylakoid membrane system in
cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. Besides its global importance, the biogenesis, maintenance …

Intracellular compartmentalization is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells. Dynamic membrane
remodeling, involving membrane fission/fusion events, clearly is crucial for cell viability and …

The thylakoid membrane network inside chloroplasts harbours the protein complexes that
are necessary for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Cellular processes for …

A novel Rab GTPase protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, CPRabA5e (CP= chloroplast
localized) is located in chloroplasts and has a role in transport. Transient expression of …

Plastid isoprenoid-derived carotenoids serve essential roles in chloroplast development and
photosynthesis. Although nearly all enzymes that participate in the biosynthesis of …

In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs
in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and …

Photosynthesis is a well-known process that has been intensively investigated, but less is
known about the biogenesis of the thylakoid membrane that harbors the photosynthetic …

The pollen wall protects pollen grains from abiotic and biotic stresses. During pollen wall
development, tapetal cells play a vital role by secreting proteins, signals, and pollen wall …
