TL;DR: A simple, rapid method requiring few manipulations for the extraction of chlorophylls from fragmented leaf tissue of angiosperms and gymnosperms is compared with the widely used acetone method, which makes use of incubation at 65 °C of leaf tissue immersed in dimethyl sulphoxide.
Abstract: A simple, rapid method requiring few manipulations for the extraction of chlorophylls from fragmented leaf tissue of angiosperms and gymnosperms is compared with the widely used acetone method. Unlike the acetone method where grinding and subsequent centrifugation are essential, this method makes use of incubation at 65 °C of leaf tissue immersed in dimethyl sulphoxide. The new method was found to be as efficient as acetone for chlorophyll extraction and superior in terms of chlorophyll stability.

TL;DR: The composition of a medium is described that proved useful to culture callus of a variety of monocotyledonous and dicotylingonous plants and facilitated work with single cells and the enzymatic removal of cell walls in related studies.
Abstract: The composition of a medium is described that proved useful to culture callus of a variety of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. Growth on the medium was often better than on some other ex...

TL;DR: By using molecular methods based on polymerase chain reaction, this work was able to identify the fungal symbionts directly from mycorrhizae in nearly all of the myCorrhizal morphotypes the authors found.
Abstract: We examined the species diversity of an ectomycorrhizal community in natural stands of bishop pine (Pinus muricata D. Don) to determine the correspondence between above- and below-ground views of s...

TL;DR: This review examines the potential diversity of both Rubisco and chloroplast-based CCMs across algal divisions, including both green and nongreen algae, and seeks to highlight recent advances in the understanding of the area and future areas for research.
Abstract: Algae have adopted two primary strategies to maximize the performance of Rubisco in photosynthetic CO2 fixation. This has included either the development of a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM), bas...

TL;DR: It is suggested that the mutation alters the lipoprotein of lamellar structures in the plastid, and that other effects are consequential.
Abstract: Biochemical properties and chloroplast fine-structure of a viridis mutant of Gateway barley are described. The mutant was deficient in chlorophyll and carotenoids when young but developed nearly no...
