Article Synopsis
  • Plants and algae must adapt to phosphate deficiency by enhancing uptake and remobilizing internal phosphate reserves.
  • They replace phospholipids with non-phosphorus lipids, like glycolipids, but seed plants have lost the ability to synthesize some of these lipids.
  • Research shows that by expressing specific BTA1 genes, seed plants can produce a lipid called DGTS, which accumulates in plant leaves without negatively affecting growth or other lipid types.

Diatoms derive from a secondary endosymbiosis event, which occurred when a eukaryotic host cell engulfed a red alga. This led to the formation of a complex plastid enclosed by four membranes: two innermost membranes originating from the red alga chloroplast envelope, and two additional peri- and epiplastidial membranes (PPM, EpM). The EpM is linked to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
