Light is a key resource for plants as it fuels photosynthesis. It also provides essential information about their habitat. Thus, light tracking is of great importance to plants throughout their life cycle. To gain information about their light environment, plants possess light receptors that cover the perception of the complete light spectrum, including light invisible to the human eye (far-red and ultra-violet light). The information sensed by these photoreceptors is utilized for optimal growth during day-night cycles and in sub-optimal light conditions, such as shaded areas and high-light sun flecks. Plant photobiology research focuses on the perception of light by plants, their developmental adaptations to a changing light environment and the mechanistic and genetic basis of these adaptations. The International Symposium on Plant Photobiology (ISPP) is a biannual meeting where the world's leaders, as well as upcoming talents in the field, gather to share their latest results and discuss future directions. The past edition was held between June 3 and 8 of 2019 in the beautiful PRBB research park building on the seafront of the city of Barcelona (Spain). The ISPP2019 was organized by a gender-balanced committee formed by two junior (Lot Gommers and Jordi Moreno-Romero) and two senior researchers (Jamie F. Martínez-Garcia and Elena Monte).

Transcriptomics is a powerful approach for functional genomics and systems biology, yet it can also be used for genetic part discovery. Here, we derive constitutive and light-regulated promoters directly from transcriptomics data of the basidiomycete red yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous CBS 6938 (anamorph Phaffia rhodozyma) and use these promoters with other genetic elements to create a modular synthetic biology parts collection for this organism.

Oligomers of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein are characterized by pronounced instability resulting in fast degradation. This property likely relates to two contrasting behaviors of the N protein: genome stabilization through a compact nucleocapsid during cell evasion and genome release by nucleocapsid disassembling during infection. In vivo, the N protein forms rounded complexes of high molecular mass from its interaction with the viral genome.

Diatoms rely on fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins (FCPs) for light harvesting and energy quenching under marine environments. Here we report two cryo-electron microscopic structures of photosystem I (PSI) with either 13 or five fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding protein Is (FCPIs) at 2.78 and 3.

Our interpretation of photosynthetically active radiation in plants has evolved since the 1970s with new data explaining the underlying mechanisms. To update McCree's founding work, this study explored the spectral response of photosynthesis in young tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Beefsteak) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv.

Article Synopsis
- - The study isolated a new bacterial strain, Staphylococcus petrasii sub sp. jettensis (VSJK R1), which efficiently degrades fats, oils, and grease (FOG) pollutants commonly found in wastewater from sources like restaurants and kitchens.
- - Optimal biodegradation conditions were identified, including the use of organic nitrogen sources, glucose, neutral pH, and specific temperature ranges (22°C to 45°C), leading to significantly improved degradation rates.
- - Comparisons to other microbial strains highlighted the exceptional ability of VSJK R1 to break down various edible oils, suggesting its potential for bioremediation in wastewater treatment facilities and grease traps.
