Jensen, Poul Erik, Bassi, Roberto, Boekema, Egbert J., Dekker, Jan P., Jansson, Stefan, Leister, Dario, ...
Photosystem I (PSI) is a multisubunit protein complex located in the thylakoid membranes of green plants and algae, where it initiates one of the first steps of solar energy conversion by...
Rapid reorganization of resistance gene homologues in cereal genomes
Leister, Dario, Kurth, Joachim, Laurie, David A., Yano, Masahiro, Sasaki, Takuji, Devos, Katrien, ...

GST-PRIME: a genome-wide primer design software for the generation of gene sequence tags
Varotto, Claudio, Richly, Erik, Salamini, Francesco, Leister, Dario
The availability of sequenced genomes has generated a need for experimental approaches that allow the simultaneous analysis of large, or even complete, sets of genes. To facilitate such analyses, we...

Kubis, Sybille, Patel, Ramesh, Combe, Jonathan, Bédard, Jocelyn, Kovacheva, Sabina, Lilley, Kathryn, ...
The initial stages of preprotein import into chloroplasts are mediated by the receptor GTPase Toc159. In Arabidopsis thaliana, Toc159 is encoded by a small gene family: atTOC159, atTOC132, atTOC120,...
The Role of Δ1-Pyrroline-5-Carboxylate Dehydrogenase in Proline DegradationW⃞
Deuschle, Karen, Funck, Dietmar, Forlani, Giuseppe, Stransky, Harald, Biehl, Alexander, Leister, Dario, ...
In response to stress, plants accumulate Pro, requiring degradation after release from adverse conditions. Δ1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH), the second enzyme for Pro degradation, is...
Noutsos, Christos, Richly, Erik, Leister, Dario
Nuclear genomes are exposed to a continuous influx of DNA from mitochondria and plastids. We have characterized the structure of ∼750 kb of organelle DNA, distributed among 13 loci, in the nuclear...
Covariations in the nuclear chloroplast transcriptome reveal a regulatory master-switch
Richly, Erik, Dietzmann, Angela, Biehl, Alexander, Kurth, Joachim, Laloi, Christophe, Apel, Klaus, ...
The evolution of the endosymbiotic progenitor into the chloroplast organelle was associated with the transfer of numerous chloroplast genes into the nucleus. Hence, inter-organellar signalling, and...
