Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

Biological membranes are highly ordered structures consisting of mosaics of lipids and
proteins. Elevated temperatures can directly and effectively change the properties of these …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are divided into n-3 and n-6 classes, are
essential for good health in humans and many animals. They are metabolised to lipid …

Lipids are a principal component of plasma membrane, acting as a protective barrier
between the cell and its surroundings. Abiotic stresses such as drought and temperature …

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is recognized as an important signaling molecule in
plants. We sought to establish a genetically encoded, fluorescent H2O2 sensor that allows …

Highlights•Stress response in plants involves chromatin re-organization.•This includes
changes in nuclear structure, histone variants, chaperones, and modifications.•Chromatin …

Studying how photosynthetic cells modify membrane lipids in response to heat stress is
important to understand how plants and microalgae adapt to daily fluctuations in …

All land plants (embryophytes) share a common ancestor that likely evolved from a
filamentous freshwater alga. Elucidating the transition from algae to embryophytes–and the …

Lipids are the primary form of energy storage and a major component of plasma
membranes, which form the interface between the cell and the extracellular environment …

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a well-established model system for basic research questions
ranging from photosynthesis and organelle biogenesis, to the biology of cilia and basal …
