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

TL;DR: In this paper, the high-phosphatidylcholine 1 (HPC1) allele was identified as a major driver of variation in high-land maize, leading to higher fitness in highlands, possibly by hastening flowering.

TL;DR: A new lineage of apicomplexans is proposed, which is sister to the Coccidia and Hematozoa and proposes the class Marosporida class nov, and adds a new complexity to the models of stepwise reductive evolution of genome structure and organelle function in these parasites.

TL;DR: Three distinct Sugary-type cDNA sequences were isolated from the wheat endosperm that are likely to correspond to the products of the three genomes and demonstrate that there are three types of isoamylase sequences in plants: those containing 18 exons (the Sugary -type iso amylase gene), those containing 21 exons, and those containing only 1 exon.

The Arabidopsis thaliana peptide deformylase 1 protein is localized to both mitochondria and chloroplasts
TL;DR: This work fused full length At DEF1 and 2 proteins with GFP for transient expression studies using onion epidermal cells and photosynthetically active tobacco leaves and found that a single N-terminal sequence that targets a protein to both organelles is termed an ambiguous presequence and both AtDEF1 and At DEF2 have such sequences for dual organellar localization.

The Arabidopsis thaliana CUTA gene encodes an evolutionarily conserved copper binding chloroplast protein

TL;DR: Analysis of cDNA clones and RT-PCR with total mRNA revealed alternative splicing of AtCUTA by retention of an intron, and the sequence of AtCutAp encoded by the fully spliced transcript suggests that the precursor consists of three domains: an N-terminal chloroplast transit sequence of 70 residues, followed by a domain with prokaryotic signal-sequence-like characteristics and finally the most conserved C-terminals.
