Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular green alga whose lineage diverged from land
plants over 1 billion years ago. It is a model system for studying chloroplast-based …

The generation of a comprehensive EST library and the sequencing of its genome set the
stage for reverse genetics approaches in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. However, these also …

Microalgae are regarded as promising organisms to develop innovative concepts based on
their photosynthetic capacity that offers more sustainable production than heterotrophic hosts…

Sugar beet provides around one third of the sugar consumed worldwide and serves as a
significant source of bioenergy in the form of ethanol. Sucrose accounts for up to 18% of plant …

Botrytis cinerea is a major plant pathogen infecting more than 1400 plant species. During
invasion, the fungus rapidly kills host cells, which is believed to be supported by induction of …

Next‐generation technologies generate an overwhelming amount of gene sequence data.
Efficient annotation tools are required to make these data amenable to functional genomics …

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii HSP70A promoter can be induced by both heat shock and
light. Several characteristics of this promoter suggest its usefulness as a tool for improved …

Dark-grown Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cultures that were illuminated at low fluence rates
before exposure to highlight conditions exhibited a faster rate of recovery from photoinhibition …

Nitrogen (N) is a key nutrient that limits global primary productivity; hence, N-use efficiency is
of compelling interest in agriculture and aquaculture. We used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii …

Biological carbon fixation is a key step in the global carbon cycle that regulates the atmosphere's
composition while producing the food we eat and the fuels we burn. Approximately one-…
