Cycloheximide is frequently presumed to inhibit specifically the cytoplasmic protein synthesis of eukaryotes. Although previous investigators have shown that it had other effects on the cells of a variety of organisms, these results were frequently presumed to be secondary effects of the inhibition of protein synthesis. This paper shows that a wide range of deleterious effects are produced by c...

Significance Lignin deposition in plants is affected by environmental stress, and stress-signaling involves increases the levels of plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). Here we show, using a combination biochemical genetic approaches, how ABA can regulate lignin biosynthesis. This phosphorylation master transcription factor NST1 family protein kinases (SnRK2s) that are themselves activated as res...

The Archaeplastida consists of three lineages, Rhodophyta, Virideplantae and Glaucophyta. The extracellular matrix of most members of the Rhodophyta and Viridiplantae consists of carbohydrate-based or a highly glycosylated protein-based cell wall while the Glaucophyte covering is poorly resolved. In order to elucidate possible evolutionary links between the three advanced lineages in Archaeplas...
