Characterization of the UDP-glycosyltransferase UGT72 Family in Poplar and Identification of Genes Involved in the Glycosylation of Monolignols by Nathanael Speeckaert, Nassirou Mahamadou Adamou, Hadjara Amadou Hassane, Fabien Baldacci-Cresp, Adeline Mol, Geert Goeminne, Wout Boerjan, Pierre Duez, Simon Hawkins, Godfrey Neutelings, Thomas Hoffmann, Wilfried Schwab, Mondher El Jaziri, Marc Behr, Marie Baucher

“…However, UGT72A2, belonging to group 2, was localized in bodies associated with chloroplasts, as well as possibly in chloroplasts. These results show a partial conservation of substrate recognition between Arabidopsis and poplar homologs, as well as divergent functions between different groups of the UGT72 family, for which the substrates remain unknown.…”

Lipid degradation and photosynthetic traits after prolonged darkness in four Antarctic benthic diatoms, including the newly described species Planothidium wetzelii sp. nov. by Desirée P. Juchem, Katherina Schimani, Andreas Holzinger, Charlotte Permann, Nélida Abarca, Oliver Skibbe, Jonas Zimmermann, Martin Graeve, Ulf Karsten

“…In all tested species, the storage lipid content declined significantly, along with an ultrastructurally observable degradation of the chloroplasts. Surprisingly, photosynthetic performance did not change significantly despite chloroplasts decreasing in thylakoid membranes and an increased number of plastoglobules. …”
