Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of abiotic stress
combinations that negatively impact plants and pose a serious threat to crop yield and food …

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 …

Lignin is one of the most abundant renewable resources on earth and is readily produced as
a sidestream during biomass fractioning. So far, these large quantities of lignin have been …

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a leading unicellular model for dissecting
biological processes in photosynthetic eukaryotes. However, its usefulness has been limited …

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

Phytoplankton are responsible for half of all oxygen production and drive the ocean carbon
cycle. Metabolic theory predicts that increasing global temperatures will cause …

Diatoms are the most dominant phytoplankton species in oceans and they continue to
receive a great deal of attention because of their significant contributions in ecosystems and …

Background The elucidation of complex biological systems requires integration of multiple
molecular parameters. Accordingly, high throughput methods like transcriptomics …

Photosynthetic microalgae have promise as biofuel feedstock. Under certain conditions, they
produce substantial amounts of neutral lipids, mainly in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) …

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 …
