Transformation in cyanobacteria

RD Porter - CRC Critical reviews in microbiology, 1986 - Taylor & Francis
The cyanobacteria (or blue-green algae) are the simplest organisms capable of carrying out
oxygen-evolving photosynthesis. They are prokaryotes, and their overall cell structure and …

Maximum likelihood inference of protein phylogeny and the origin of chloroplasts

H Kishino, T Miyata, M Hasegawa - Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1990 - Springer
A maximum likelihood method for inferring protein phylogeny was developed. It is based on
a Markov model that takes into account the unequal transition probabilities among pairs of …

Influence of light on accumulation of photosynthesis-specific transcripts in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803

A Mohamed, C Jansson - Plant molecular biology, 1989 - Springer
Transcript accumulation for the psbA, psbD, psbD-C, rbcL-S and rrn genes in Synechocystis
6803 was followed under different light conditions. psbA, psbD, psbD-C and rbcL-S …

Expression of a family of psbA genes encoding a photosystem II polypeptide in the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans R2.

SS Golden, J Brusslan, R Haselkorn - The EMBO journal, 1986 - embopress.org
The genome of the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans R2 contains three genes (psbA) for

The cyanobacterium Synechococcus resists UV-B by exchanging photosystem II reaction-center D1 proteins

D Campbell, MJ Eriksson, G Öquist… - Proceedings of the …, 1998 - National Acad Sciences
Current ambient UV-B levels can significantly depress productivity in aquatic habitats,
largely because UV-B inhibits several steps of photosynthesis, including the photooxidation …

Genetic engineering of herbicide resistance in higher plants

A Schulz, F Wengenmayer… - Critical reviews in plant …, 1990 - Taylor & Francis
The use of herbicides is a well-established necessity in modem agricultural practice. In
recent years, the demand for environmental safety has made it necessary to develop less …

The organization and sequence of the genes for ATP synthase subunits in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6301: support for an endosymbiotic origin of …

AL Cozens, JE Walker - Journal of molecular biology, 1987 - Elsevier
The nucleotide sequence has been determined of two regions of DNA cloned from the
cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6301. The larger, 8890 base-pairs in length, contains a …

Differential expression of the psbA genes in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803

A Mohamed, J Eriksson, HD Osiewacz… - Molecular and General …, 1993 - Springer
The 5′ region and transcription initiation sites of the psbA-2 and psbA-3 genes of
Synechocystis 6803 were determined. The otherwise highly homologous genes were shown …

Two partially homologous adjacent light-inducible maize chloroplast genes encoding polypeptides of the P700 chlorophyll a-protein complex of photosystem I.

LE Fish, U Kück, L Bogorad - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1985 - ASBMB
The maize chloroplast chromosome contains two light-inducible genes, ps1A1 and ps1A2,
that code for 45% homologous polypeptides of 83.2 and 82.5 kDa designated A1 and A2 …

Chlamydomonas reinhardii gene for the 32 000 mol. wt. protein of photosystem II contains four large introns and is located entirely within the chloroplast inverted …

JM Erickson, M Rahire, JD Rochaix - The EMBO journal, 1984 - embopress.org
The chloroplast psb A gene from the green unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii has
been localized, cloned and sequenced. This gene codes for the rapidly‐labeled 32‐kd …
