Delta-5 elongase knockout reduces DHA and TAG synthesis coupled with an increase of heat sensitivity in a marine diatom

This study shows that knocking out delta-5 elongase in a marine diatom reduces DHA and TAG synthesis and increases heat sensitivity.

SPHINGOLIPIDS AND DELTA8-SPHINGOLIPID DESATURASE FROM THE PICOALGA O. TAURI AND INVOLVEMENT IN TEMPERATURE ACCLIMATION

This study identifies and characterizes sphingolipid Δ8-desaturase in O. tauri, showing its temperature-dependent regulation and role in temperature acclimation through effects on cell size and chlorophyll.

The possible role of lipid bilayer properties in the evolutionary disappearance of betaine lipids in seed plants.

This study investigates the physicochemical differences between betaine and phospholipids to explain their evolutionary divergence in plants and algae.

A molecular phenology scale of fruit development

The paper develops a molecular phenology scale (MPhS) using transcriptomic data from grape berries to map fruit development stages with higher precision than traditional methods.

The grape MYB24 mediates the coordination of light-induced terpene and flavonol accumulation in response to berry anthocyanin sunscreen depletion

The paper identifies MYB24 as a transcription factor coordinating light-induced terpene and flavonol accumulation in response to anthocyanin depletion in grape berries.

Initiation of organ maturation and fruit ripening in grapevine is controlled by the CARPO-NAC transcription factor

This study identifies VviCARPO as a key NAC transcription factor regulating grapevine fruit ripening and tissue senescence by controlling chlorophyll degradation and anthocyanin accumulation.
