TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the metabolic pathways that are associated with the biosynthesis and degradation of the acyl lipids that represent their major form of carbon and energy storage in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The DEFECTIVE IN ANTHER DEHISCENCE1 Gene Encodes a Novel Phospholipase A1 Catalyzing the Initial Step of Jasmonic Acid Biosynthesis, Which Synchronizes Pollen Maturation, Anther Dehiscence, and Flower Opening in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: Results indicate that the DAD1 protein is a chloroplastic phospholipase A1 that catalyzes the initial step of JA biosynthesis and is restricted in the stamen filaments.
Journal ArticleDOI
CHILLING SENSITIVITY IN PLANTS AND CYANOBACTERIA: The Crucial Contribution of Membrane Lipids
Ikuo Nishida,Norio Murata +1 more
TL;DR: This review covers recent studies on genetic manipulation of acyl-lipid desaturases and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase in transgenic tobacco and cyanobacteria with special emphasis on the crucial importance of the unsaturation of membrane lipids in protecting the photosynthetic machinery from photoinhibition under cold conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetically engineered alteration in the chilling sensitivity of plants
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Samsum (tobacco) can be manipulated by transformation with complementary DNAs for glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases from squash and Arabidopsis to alter the chilling sensitivity of higher plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disruption of the novel plant protein NEF1 affects lipid accumulation in the plastids of the tapetum and exine formation of pollen, resulting in male sterility in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Tohru Ariizumi,Katsunori Hatakeyama,Kokichi Hinata,Rie Inatsugi,Ikuo Nishida,Shusei Sato,Tomohiko Kato,Satoshi Tabata,Kinya Toriyama +8 more
TL;DR: Motif analysis revealed that NEF1 contains prokaryotic membrane lipoprotein lipid attachment sites that are involved in maintaining cell envelope integrity, and it is predicted that the Nef1 encodes a membrane protein that maintains the envelope integrity in the plastids.
