Fatty acids (FAs) and lipids are essential—not only as membrane constituents but also for
growth and development. In plants and algae, FAs are synthesized in plastids and to a large …

Plastid division is fundamental to the biology of plant cells. Division by binary fission entails
the coordinated assembly and constriction of four concentric rings, two internal and two …

Fatty acid synthesis in plants occurs in plastids, and thus, export for subsequent acyl editing
and lipid assembly in the cytosol and endoplasmatic reticulum is required. Yet, the transport …

Phytol from chlorophyll degradation can be phosphorylated to phytyl-phosphate and phytyl-
diphosphate, the substrate for tocopherol (vitamin E) synthesis. A candidate for the phytyl …

Photorespiratory carbon flux reaches up to a third of photosynthetic flux, thus contributes
massively to the global carbon cycle. The pathway recycles glycolate-2-phosphate, the most …

Abstract Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT)-III proteins mediate
membrane remodeling and the release of endosomal intraluminal vesicles into …

Growth and productivity in important crop plants is limited by the inefficiencies of the C3
photosynthetic pathway. Introducing CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into C3 plants …

Highlights•Improvement of photosynthesis in C 3 crop plants is needed to secure future
yields.•Cyanobacterial CO 2-concentrating mechanisms are a potential source to …

Plant carotenoids have unique physiological roles related to specific plastid suborganellar
locations. Carotenoid metabolic engineering could enhance plant adaptation to climate …

The plant antioxidant system plays important roles in response to diverse abiotic and biotic
stresses. However, the effects of virus infection on host redox homeostasis and how …
