TLDR
An analysis of 715 Arabidopsis thaliana sequences from SWISS‐PROT suggests that the ChloroP method should be useful for the identification of putative transit peptides in genome‐wide sequence data.Abstract:
We present a neural network based method (ChloroP) for identifying chloroplast transit peptides and their cleavage sites. Using cross-validation, 88% of the sequences in our homology reduced training set were correctly classified as transit peptides or nontransit peptides. This performance level is well above that of the publicly available chloroplast localization predictor PSORT. Cleavage sites are predicted using a scoring matrix derived by an automatic motif-finding algorithm. Approximately 60% of the known cleavage sites in our sequence collection were predicted to within +/-2 residues from the cleavage sites given in SWISS-PROT. An analysis of 715 Arabidopsis thaliana sequences from SWISS-PROT suggests that the ChloroP method should be useful for the identification of putative transit peptides in genome-wide sequence data. The ChloroP predictor is available as a web-server at http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/ChloroP/.read more

PIC1, an ancient permease in Arabidopsis chloroplasts, mediates iron transport.
TL;DR: Observations suggest that PIC1 functions in iron transport across the inner envelope of chloroplasts and hence in cellular metal homeostasis.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the tomato genome contains 44 terpene synthase (TPS) genes, including 29 that are functional or potentially functional in at least some organs or tissues of the plant.

TL;DR: Immunohistochemical analyses and metabolic profiling data suggest regulation of JA biosynthesis by OPDA compartmentalization and a positive feedback by JA during leaf development and preferential activity of the AOS branch within the LOX pathway.

A chloroplast DegP2 protease performs the primary cleavage of the photodamaged D1 protein in plant photosystem II
TL;DR: The isolation of a single‐copy nuclear gene from Arabidopsis thaliana is reported, encoding a protease that performs GTP‐dependent primary cleavage of the photodamaged D1 protein and hence catalysing the key step in the repair cycle in plants.

Identification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic signal peptides and prediction of their cleavage sites.
TL;DR: A new method for the identification of signal peptides and their cleavage sites based on neural networks trained on separate sets of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequence that performs significantly better than previous prediction schemes and can easily be applied on genome-wide data sets.
