The powdery mildew(Erysiphe necator)is a prevalent pathogen hampering grapevine growth in the vineyard.An arsenal of candidate secreted effector proteins(CSEPs)was encoded in the E.necator genome,but it is largely unc...
FUNDING The following financial support is gratefully acknowledged:the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Sorbonne University for annual funding to UMR7141;the Agence National de la Recherche for the"ChloroMitoRAMP"ANR grant(ANR-19-CE13-0009);"LabEx Dynamo"(ANR-LABX-011),which provided postdoctoral support to O.D.C.;the"MATHTEST"grant(ANR-18-CE13-0027),which provided doctoral support to C.G.;finally the Fondation Edmond Rothschild,which provided complementary financial support to O.D.C.and C.G.The funders had no role in the design of the study;in the collection,analyses,or interpretation of data;in the writing of the manuscript;or in the decision to publish the results.
We asked what peptide features govern targeting to the mitochondria versus the chloroplast,using antimicrobial peptides as a starting point.This approach was inspired by the endosymbiotic hypothesis that organelle-tar...

Somaclonal variation in tissue culture is a common phenomenon induced by various external or internal environmental conditions,resulting in heritable or non-heritable alterations in gene expression. One crucial mechan...
The fixation of leaves of Tanacetum vulgare L. in glutaraldehyde makes it possible to isolate chloroplasts without sacrificing an electron dense substance in the thylakoid lumen. The extraction of lipids from the chlo...
A team of scientists led by Dr.LIU Zhenfeng at the CAS Institute of Biophysics(IBP)made a breakthrough in understanding how chloroplasts–the cellular powerhouses responsible for converting sunlight into energy–impor...
