MYB97, MYB101 and MYB120 function as male factors that control pollen tube-synergid interaction in Arabidopsis thaliana fertilization.
Yan Liang,Ze-Min Tan,Lei Zhu,Qian-Kun Niu,Jing-Jing Zhou,Meng Li,Li-Qun Chen,Xue-Qin Zhang,De Ye +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the pollen-expressed transcription factors MYB97, MYB101 and MYB120 probably control genes whose encoded proteins play important roles in Arabidopsis thaliana pollen tube reception, possibly by controlling the expression of downstream genes.
The structural and functional domains of plant thylakoid membranes
TL;DR: An optimized thylakoid fragmentation procedure combined with detailed ultrastructural, biochemical, and functional analyses reveals the distinct composition of grana margins and indicates that the grana margin functions as a degradation and disassembly zone for photodamaged PSII.

Plastocyanin is the long-range electron carrier between photosystem II and photosystem I in plants.
Ricarda Höhner,Mathias Pribil,Mathias Pribil,Miroslava Herbstová,Laura Susanna Lopez,Hans-Henning Kunz,Meng Li,Magnus Wood,Vaclav Svoboda,Sujith Puthiyaveetil,Dario Leister,Helmut Kirchhoff +11 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that plastocyanin diffusion is a crucial regulatory element of plant photosynthetic electron transport and explains why higher plants have a narrow range of grana diameters since a larger diffusion distance for plastOCyanin would jeopardize the efficiency of electron transport.

Physiological and evolutionary implications of tetrameric photosystem I in cyanobacteria.
Meng Li,Meng Li,Alexandra Calteau,Dmitry A. Semchonok,Thomas A. Witt,Jonathan Nguyen,Nathalie Sassoon,Egbert J. Boekema,Julian P. Whitelegge,Muriel Gugger,Barry D. Bruce +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that tetrameric PSI is an adaptation to high light intensity, and that change in PsaL leads to monomerization of trimeric PSI, supporting the hypothesis of tetramerIC PSI being the evolutionary intermediate in the transition from cyanobacterial trimericPSI to monomers in plants and algae.
Sublocalization of Cytochrome b6f Complexes in Photosynthetic Membranes.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the width of stromal gap is variable, demonstrating that the postulated mechanism can regulate the lateral distribution of the cytochrome b6f complexes.
