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: Comparative global analysis of transcripts under induced and noninduced conditions was applied as a first approach to studying molecular changes that promote or accompany triacylglycerol accumulation in cells encountering a new nutrient environment, and conclusions on metabolism based on transcriptional analysis are indirect.

TL;DR: The phenol extraction protocol was optimized for banana and was subsequently applied to two other plant species: apple and potato, and is useful for guiding the experimental setup of many other nonmodel species, containing various interfering elements.

GUN4, a regulator of chlorophyll synthesis and intracellular signaling.
TL;DR: GUN4 participates in plastid-to-nucleus signaling by regulating Mg-Proto synthesis or trafficking through a signaling pathway that, inArabidopsis, requires the GUN4 gene.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that slow turnover of many photosynthesis-related proteins allows plants to invest resources in immediate defence needs without debilitating near term losses in photosynthetic capacity.

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.
