A fun finale for the #nudivember festivities! Isn't it pretty? And it does look just like it has a leaf for a cape!

A rare photosynthesizing sea slug has been found off N.S. Here's why scientists are excited | CBC News
Researchers believe Elysia chlorotica holds promise for medical advances, but it's been too elusive to study.

🌿☀️ RESEARCH ☀️🌿

Wang et al. show that Ycf1 overaccumulation inhibits chloroplast-encoded core subunits synthesis, causing imbalance between photosynthetic core & light-harvesting complexes, leading to hyperstacked non-functional grana thylakoids.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 3 (shortened, full legend in paper): Abnormal thylakoid ultrastructure in ycf1 transplastomic lines. (A–F) TEM analysis of the wild type (WT, A), the PlyGBS line (B), and the OE15 (C, D) and OE21 (E, F) lines. In contrast to the wild type, the grana thylakoids in the ycf1 OE plants are hyperstacked, while the stroma lamellae are nearly absent (C, E). Some chloroplasts of the ycf1 lines contain inflated or rudimentary thylakoid membranes (D, F). The boxed areas are enlarged on the right. The insets show the seedlings that were used for TEM analysis (with the arrowhead indicating the leaf that was analyzed). Scale bars, 1 μm for the images on the left, 500 nm for the enlargement on the right, and 0.5 mm for the insets (seedlings). The TEM analyses were repeated using seedlings from independent experiments with similar results.

This research, published in #MolecularPlant and involving CRAG researchers Martí Quevedo and Elena Monte, uncovered a stand-by mechanism in stress-response genes. Through a non-coding DNA region, these genes stay ready to respond instantly when cold strikes. ⚡
