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

Molecular cloning of geranyl diphosphate synthase and compartmentation of monoterpene synthesis in plant cells.
TL;DR: Cl cloning and functional expression of a GPP synthase (GPPS) from Arabidopsis thaliana is described and it is argued that monoterpene synthesis is not solely restricted to specialized secretory structures but can also occur in photosynthetic parenchyma.

Suppression of Allene Oxide Cyclase in Hairy Roots of Medicago truncatula Reduces Jasmonate Levels and the Degree of Mycorrhization with Glomus intraradices
TL;DR: A crucial role for JA is indicated in the establishment of AM symbiosis between Medicago truncatula and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices and roots with suppressed MtAOC1 expression exhibited lower JA levels and a remarkable delay in the process of colonization with G. intrarodices.

TL;DR: It is concluded that α-amylase is not necessary for transitory starch breakdown in Arabidopsis leaves and that the starch-excess phenotype of the sex4 mutant is not caused simply by deficiency of AtAMY3 protein.

Identification and functional analysis of bifunctional ent-kaurene synthase from the moss Physcomitrella patens
TL;DR: PpCPS/KS is a bifunctional cyclase and, like fungal CPS/KS, directly synthesizes the ent‐kaurene skeleton from GGDP, and shows high similarity with CPSs and abietadiene synthase from higher plants.

Evidence of a Role for LytB in the Nonmevalonate Pathway of Isoprenoid Biosynthesis
TL;DR: The combination of lytB and a cDNA encoding IPP isomerase was no more effective in enhancing carotenoid accumulation than ipi alone, indicating that the ratio of IPP and DMAPP produced via the DOXP pathway is influenced by LytB.

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.
SHORT COMMUNICATION Identification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic signal peptides and prediction of their cleavage sites
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for the identification of in performance compared with the weight matrix method signal peptides and their cleavage sites based on neural (Arrigo et al., 1991; Ladunga et al, 1991; Schneider and networks trained on separate sets of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequence.
