Journal ArticleDOI

The Chlamydomonas Genome Reveals the Evolution of Key Animal and Plant Functions

Sabeeha S. Merchant, +118 more
- 12 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolism of acyl‐lipids in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

TL;DR: Current knowledge is reviewed on the known or putative steps for fatty acid synthesis, glycerolipid desaturation and assembly, membrane lipid turnover, and oil remobilization in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and Biochemical Characterization of a Cytokinin Oxidase from Maize

TL;DR: Details of the genomic organization of the recently isolated maize cytokinin oxidase gene (ckx1) and some of its Arabidopsis homologs are presented and expression of the oxidase in maize tissues is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Annotation of genes involved in glycerolipid biosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: Discovery of the betaine lipid synthase BTA1Cr

TL;DR: An in silico analysis of fatty acid and glycerolipid metabolism in an algal model, enabled by the recent availability of expressed sequence tag and genomic sequences of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, finds that two separate proteins, BtaARs and BtaBRs, are required for the biosynthesis of DGTS.
Journal ArticleDOI

A permease-like protein involved in ER to thylakoid lipid transfer in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Using a high‐throughput robotic screening procedure generating arrays of spot chromatograms, mutants of Arabidopsis were isolated, which accumulated unusual trigalactolipids, and it is proposed that this protein is part of a lipid transfer complex.
