Two antagonists of "normal" proline-hydroxyproline-protein synthesis, 2,2'-dipyridyl and hydroxy-L-proline, induced the same kind of phenovariation in Nowellia curvifolia (Dicks) Mitt. (Cephaloziaceae) as they do in Scapania nemorosa (Scapaniaceae). This finding supports a hypothesized cardinal role

The metabolic fate of free 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp), dual-labeled in specific positions, supplied to axenically cultured gametophytes of Plagiochila arctica was found to be complex. It could enter into at least three pathways, and the one that predominated depended on the concentration supplied. At

A novel group II intron has been identified in the pea (Pisum sativum) mitochondrial genome. The gene harbouring this intron is identified as rps10 (encoding protein S10 of the small ribosomal subunit) by similarity to its known homologues in bacteria and in the mitochondrion of the liverwort

We characterized the genes in the regions of large inverted repeats (IRA and IRB, 10,058 base-pairs each) and a small single copy (SSC 19,813 bp) of chloroplast DNA from Marchantia polymorpha. The inverted repeat (IR) regions contain genes for four ribosomal RNAs (16 S, 23 S, 4.5 S and 5 S rRNAs)

The nucleotide sequence (25,320 base-pairs) of a part of the large single-copy region of chloroplast DNA from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha was determined. This region encodes putative genes for four tRNAs, isoleucine tRNA(CAU), arginine tRNA(CCG), proline tRNA(UGG) and tryptophan tRNA(CCA);

In the aquatic liverwort Riccia fluitans, membrane depolarization (ΔΨm), change in membrane conductance (Δgm), and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics in the presence of different amino acids as well as the uptake of (14)C-labeled amino acids were measured. L-isomers of the tested amino acids

Oleosins form a steric barrier surface on lipid droplets in cytoplasm, preventing them from contacting and coalescing with adjacent droplets. Oleosin genes have been detected in numerous plant species. However, the presence of oleosin genes in the most basally diverging lineage of land plants,

The carbohydrate-rich cell walls of land plants and algae have been the focus of much interest given the value of cell wall-based products to our current and future economies. Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs), a major group of wall glycoproteins, play important roles in plant growth and
