The study of plant cell physiology is currently experiencing a profound transformation. Novel techniques allow dynamic in vivo imaging with subcellular resolution, covering a rapidly growing range of plant cell physiology. Several basic biological questions that have been inaccessible by the traditional combination of biochemical, physiological and cell biological approaches now see major progress. Instead of grinding up tissues, destroying their organisation, or describing cell- and tissue structure, without a measure for its function, novel imaging approaches can provide the critical link between localisation, function and dynamics. Thanks to a fast growing collection of available fluoresc...
For centuries plants of a broad taxonomical background have been bred and commercialized because of the beauty of their flowers. However, until recently genomic analyses of ornamentals remained a challenge because of their large genome sizes and high ploidy levels. In the last decade, increasingly affordable sequencing technologies and powerful bioinformatic approaches resulted in the complete sequencing of several horticultural species genomes and the characterization of their transcriptomes. These developments enabled research on many challenging topics. This Research Topic gives you a primer into them by featuring a broad range of original research contributions on some of the most active...

Die lang erwartete zweite Auflage deckt die wichtigsten Veränderungen der letzten zehn Jahre ab. Die 2. Auflage von Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 50: Plant Mitochondria wurde vollständig überarbeitet, um die jüngsten Forschungsergebnisse und ganz neue Kapitel ergänzt. Präsentiert werden die vielfältigen Aufgaben von Mitochondrien in Pflanzen. Nach einem Abriss der Geschichte der Erforschung von Mitochondrien in Pflanzen wird erläutert, wie die Koevolution die mitochondriale Genexpression bei Pflanzen beeinflusst hat. Es folgen eine Erläuterung der Steuerung von Anzahl, Form, Größe und Motilität von Mitochondrien, eine ausführliche Beschreibung der Stress-Reaktionen und Rollen der...
Chloroplasts and mitochondria both have a prokaryotic origin, carry essential genes on their own highly reduced genome and generate energy in the form of ATP for the plant cell. The ion composition and concentration in these bioenergetic organelles impact photosynthesis, respiration and stress responses in plants. Early electrophysiological and biochemical studies provided strong evidence for the presence of ion channels and ion transporters in chloroplast and mitochondrial membranes. However, it wasn’t until the last decade that the development of model organisms such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii along with improved genetic tools to study cell physiolgy have led to the discovery of several genes encoding for ion transport proteins in chloroplasts and mitochondria. For the first time, these discoveries have enabled detailed studies on the essential physiological function of the organellar ion flux. This Research Topic welcomed updated overviews and comprehensive investigations on already identified and novel ion transport components involved in physiology of chloroplasts and mitochondria in green organisms.

Due to their bacterial endosymbiotic origin plastids are organelles with both nuclear-encoded and plastid-encoded proteins. Therefore, a highly integrated modulation of gene expression between the nucleus and the plastome is needed in plant cell development. Plastids have retained for the most part a prokaryotic gene expression machinery but, differently from prokaryotes and eukaryotes, they have largely abandoned transcriptional control and switched to predominantly translational control of their gene expression. Some transcriptional regulation is known to occur, but the coordinate expression between the nucleus and the plastome takes place mainly through translational regulation. However, ...
Abiotic stresses such as drought, flooding, high or low temperatures, metal toxicity and salinity can hamper plant growth and development. Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants explains the physiological and molecular mechanisms plants naturally exhibit to withstand abiotic stresses and outlines the potential approaches to enhance plant abiotic stress tolerance to extreme conditions. Synthesising developments in plant stress biology, the book offers strategies that can be used in breeding, genomic, molecular, physiological and biotechnological approaches that hold the potential to develop resilient plants and improve crop productivity worldwide.

Fast unbemerkt stehen wir am Beginn eines neuen Zeitalters. Die Synthetische Biologie macht Gentechnik so einfach wie das Spiel mit Legosteinen oder Bauklötzen und beschert uns schon in naher Zukunft künstliche Designer-Lebewesen. Statt langwierig einen Organismus zu züchten, wird er einfach am Computer geplant und mit Fertigmodulen produziert. Damit stößt die Menschheit die Tür zu einem neuen Zeitalter auf wie zuletzt mit der Erfindung des Computers. Aber dieses Mal werden die Folgen bedeutend weitreichender sein: Statt Straßenlaternen strahlen selbstleuchtende Bäume in unseren Straßen, in unseren Küchen stehen Food-Generatoren, die aus synthetischen Zellen leckere Speisen bereite...
