High soil carbonate limits crop performance especially in semiarid or arid climates. To understand how plants adapt to such soils, we explored natural variation in tolerance to soil carbonate in small local populations (demes) of Arabidopsis thaliana growing on soils differing in carbonate content.
Solid-state CP/MAS 13C NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the effects of three different sequential extraction procedures, used to remove non-cellulosic polysaccharides, on the molecular ordering of cellulose in a cell-wall preparation containing mostly primary cell walls obtained from the
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtPAL2) was comparatively characterized to the well-studied enzyme from parsley (PcPAL1) and Rhodosporidium toruloides (RtPAL) with respect to kinetic parameters for the deamination and the amination reaction, pH- and temperature optima
Tail-anchored membrane proteins (TAMPs) differ from other integral membrane proteins, because they contain a single transmembrane domain at the extreme carboxyl-terminus and are therefore obliged to target to membranes post-translationally. Although 3-5% of all transmembrane proteins To date, less than 150 proteins have been located to plant peroxisomes, indicating that unbiased large-scale approaches such as experimental proteome research are required to uncover the remaining yet unknown metabolic functions of this organelle as well as its regulatory mechanisms and membrane
After a brief review of the strategies used to date to identify systematically plasma membrane (PM) proteins, emphasis was given to the proteomic approach of PM proteins from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Comparative analysis of two-dimensional gels from PM and cytosolic fractions was used

Calcium phosphate was unknown as a plant biomineral until recently reported in Neotropical Loasaceae. Here, we demonstrate its widespread occurrence in the trichomes of several plant families, including Brassicaceae. Calcium phosphate is the primary biomineral in, e.g., the bones and
β-carbonic anhydrases (βCA) accelerate the equilibrium formation between CO2 and carbonate. Two plant βCA isoforms are targeted to the chloroplast and represent abundant proteins in the range of >1% of chloroplast protein. While their function in gas exchange and photosynthesis is
Sulfate transporters in plants represent a family of proteins containing transmembrane domains that constitute the catalytic part of the protein and a short linking region that joins this catalytic moiety with a C-terminal STAS domain. The STAS domain resembles an anti-sigma factor antagonist of
Plant cell wall (CW) polysaccharides are responsible for the mechanical strength and growth of plant cells; however, the high-resolution structure and dynamics of the CW polysaccharides are still poorly understood because of the insoluble nature of these molecules. Here, we use 2D and 3D
