Peroxisomes are eukaryotic organelles that are highly dynamic both in morphology and
metabolism. Plant peroxisomes are involved in numerous processes, including primary and …

▪ Abstract Fifteen years ago, we had a model of peroxisome biogenesis that involved growth
and division of preexisting peroxisomes. Today, thanks to genetically tractable model …

Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles with an essentially oxidative type of metabolism.
Like chloroplasts and mitochondria, plant peroxisomes also produce superoxide radicals () …

High-precision genetic mapping was used to define the regions that contain centromere
functions on each natural chromosome in Arabidopsis thaliana. These regions exhibited …

Embryo dormancy in flowering plants is an important dispersal mechanism that promotes
survival of the seed through time. The subsequent transition to germination is a critical …

Peroxisomes play key roles in energy metabolism, cell signaling, and plant development. A
better understanding of these important functions will be achieved with a more complete …

In recent years, much progress has been made with respect to the unravelling of the
functions of peroxisomes in metabolism, and it is now well established that peroxisomes are …

In contrast to the molecular mechanisms underlying import of peroxisomal matrix proteins,
those involving the transport of membrane proteins remain rather elusive. At present, two …

The peroxisomal isoform of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) is a novel membrane isoform that
functions in the regeneration of NAD+ and protection against toxic reactive oxygen species …

Peroxisomes play diverse and important roles in plants. The functions of peroxisomes are
dependent upon their steady state protein composition which in turn reflects the balance of …
