TL;DR: A new modular satellite (SAT) vector system that supports N- and C-terminal fusions to five different autofluorescent tags, EGFP, EyFP, Citrine-YFP, ECFP, and DsRed2, and a series of SAT vectors has been adapted for high throughput Gateway recombination cloning.

TL;DR: A series of vectors for easy construction of N- terminal and C-terminal fusions of the target protein to the yellow spectral variant of the green fluorescent protein fragments are designed, demonstrating the utility of these vectors for the analysis of specific protein-protein interactions in various cellular compartments, including the nucleus, plasmodesmata, and chloroplasts of different plant species and cell types.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the advantages of using the high-throughput approaches of genomics to detail traits of interest expressed in a cultivar-specific manner in nonmodel plants.

TL;DR: Recent research into the existence of a group of homologous genes that encode carotenoid-associated proteins that aid in the generation of carotENoid-lipoprotein structures in chromoplasts offers a new framework for elucidating the carOTenoid sequestration mechanism.

TL;DR: Petunia hybrida cv. Mitchell phenylacetaldehyde synthase (PAAS) as discussed by the authors is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the unprecedented efficient coupling of phenylalanine decarboxylation to oxidation.
