A TIR-NBS protein encoded by Arabidopsis Chilling Sensitive 1 (CHS1) limits chloroplast damage and cell death at low temperature
Zbierzak A, Porfirova S, Griebel T, Melzer M, Parker J, Dormann P
Plant J . 2013 Apr; 75(4):539-52. PMID: 23617639
Survival of plants at low temperature depends on mechanisms for limiting physiological damage and maintaining growth. We mapped the chs1-1 (chilling sensitive1-1) mutation in Arabidopsis accession Columbia to the TIR-NBS...

Intersection of the tocopherol and plastoquinol metabolic pathways at the plastoglobule
Zbierzak A, Kanwischer M, Wille C, Vidi P, Giavalisco P, Lohmann A, et al.
Biochem J . 2009 Oct; 425(2):389-99. PMID: 19843012
Plastoglobules, lipid-protein bodies in the stroma of plant chloroplasts, are enriched in non-polar lipids, in particular prenyl quinols. In the present study we show that, in addition to the thylakoids,...

Molecular physiology of adventitious root formation in Petunia hybrida cuttings: involvement of wound response and primary metabolism
Ahkami A, Lischewski S, Haensch K, Porfirova S, Hofmann J, Rolletschek H, et al.
New Phytol . 2008 Dec; 181(3):613-25. PMID: 19076299
Adventitious root formation (ARF) in the model plant Petunia hybrida cv. Mitchell has been analysed in terms of anatomy, gene expression, enzymatic activities and levels of metabolites. This study focuses...

Vitamin E protects against photoinhibition and photooxidative stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
Havaux M, Eymery F, Porfirova S, Rey P, Dormann P
Plant Cell . 2005 Nov; 17(12):3451-69. PMID: 16258032
Vitamin E is considered a major antioxidant in biomembranes, but little evidence exists for this function in plants under photooxidative stress. Leaf discs of two vitamin E mutants, a tocopherol...

Alterations in tocopherol cyclase activity in transgenic and mutant plants of Arabidopsis affect tocopherol content, tocopherol composition, and oxidative stress
Kanwischer M, Porfirova S, Bergmuller E, Dormann P
Plant Physiol . 2005 Jan; 137(2):713-23. PMID: 15665245
Tocopherol belongs to the Vitamin E class of lipid soluble antioxidants that are essential for human nutrition. In plants, tocopherol is synthesized in plastids where it protects membranes from oxidative...

Characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant deficient in gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase
Bergmuller E, Porfirova S, Dormann P
Plant Mol Biol . 2003 Dec; 52(6):1181-90. PMID: 14682617
Alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) is synthesized from gamma-tocopherol in chloroplasts by gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase (gamma-TMT; VTE4). Leaves of many plant species including Arabidopsis contain high levels of alpha-tocopherol, but are low in...

Isolation of an Arabidopsis mutant lacking vitamin E and identification of a cyclase essential for all tocopherol biosynthesis
Porfirova S, Bergmuller E, Tropf S, Lemke R, Dormann P
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2002 Sep; 99(19):12495-500. PMID: 12213958
Tocopherol (vitamin E) is a plant chloroplast lipid presumed to be involved in the response to oxidative stress. A tocopherol-deficient mutant (vte1) was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana by using a...
