The catabolic pathway of chlorophyll (Chl) during senescence and fruit ripening leads to the
accumulation of colorless breakdown products (NCCs). This review updates an earlier …

Membrane-spanning transport proteins are responsible for the selective passage of most
mineral nutrients and metabolites across cellular and intracellular membranes. This review's …

Genome sequencing has resulted in the identification of a large number of uncharacterized
genes with unknown functions. It is widely recognized that determination of the intracellular …

Accumulating evidence shows that several cell types have the capacity to secrete
membrane proteins by incorporating them into exosomes, which are small lipid vesicles …

Chloroplasts rely on the translocon complexes in the outer and inner envelope membranes
(the TOC and TIC complexes, respectively) to import thousands of different nuclear-encoded …

Recent advances in the proteomics field have allowed a series of high throughput
experiments to be conducted on chloroplast samples, and the data are available in several …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonize the root systems of most land plants and modulate
plant growth by enhancing the availability of nutrients, mainly phosphorus, for plant nutrition …

Chlorophyll (chl) breakdown during senescence is an integral part of plant development and
leads to the accumulation of colorless catabolites. The loss of green pigment is due to an …

Historically speaking, Arabidopsis was not the plant of choice for investigating
photosynthesis, with physiologists and biochemists favouring other species such as …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential element, acting as cofactor in numerous enzymes. In
particular, a Mn cluster is indispensable for the function of the oxygen-evolving complex of …
