Functional characterization of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii ERG3 ortholog, a gene involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol. by Kristy M Brumfield, James V Moroney, Thomas S Moore, Tiffany A Simms, David Donze

“…The predominant sterol in the membranes of the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is ergosterol, which is commonly found in the membranes of fungi, but is rarely found in higher plants. Higher plants and fungi synthesize sterols by different pathways, with plants producing cycloartenol as a precursor to end-product sterols, while non-photosynthesizing organisms like yeast and humans produce lanosterol as a precursor. …”

Metabolic Profiling and Physiological Analysis of a Novel Rice Introgression Line with Broad Leaf Size. by Xiuqin Zhao, Guilian Zhang, Yun Wang, Fan Zhang, Wensheng Wang, Wenhao Zhang, Binying Fu, Jianlong Xu, Zhikang Li

“…The results indicated the introgression segment could improve rice grain yield by increasing the SNP and total leaf area per plant, which resulted from the higher plant nitrogen content across growth stages and stronger competition for sugars and OAs of young spikes at the booting stage.…”

Species ethnobotanical values rather than regional species pool determine plant diversity in agroforestry systems by Daniel K. N’Woueni, Orou G. Gaoue

“…We expected that agroforestry parklands adjacent to natural vegetation with high species diversity will also have higher plant species diversity. We found no similarity in plant species composition between agroforestry systems and adjacent natural habitats. …”

Hypolignification: A Decisive Factor in the Development of Hyperhydricity by Nurashikin Kemat, Richard G. F. Visser, Frans A. Krens

“…<i>p</i>-coumaric acid is the hydroxyl derivative of cinnamic acid and a precursor for lignin and flavonoids in higher plant. In the present study, we examined the role of lignin in the development of HH in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> by checking the wild-types (Ler and Col-0) and mutants affected in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, in the gene coding for cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, C4H (<i>ref3-1</i> and <i>ref3-3</i>). …”
