Established in September, 2002, we have been
interested in addressing various biological questions using biochemical, molecular
biological, genetic, and cytological tools. More specifically, we
study "plastids", the cellular compartments (organelles) essential and
specific to all photosynthetic eukaryotes (higher plants and various algae),
and some non-photosynthetic eukaryotes (those belonging to Apicomplexa, a
group of protists including malaria parasite). Addressing a question
often leads us to formulate new questions that allow us to better understand
what "nature is trying to tell us". Find
more
detailed descriptions of our research program. Development and
evolution of our research questions will also be posted soon.

April |
• Joshua
joined the lab as a graduate student researcher.
Joshua is a
Plant Biology Graduate Group
student, and has done rotations in several laboratories in Fall and
Winter quarters. He will be working on the DOE-funded project about
Plsp1.

•
Rebecca's
paper on suborganellar localization of Plsp1 was published.
Our previous genetic study showed that plastidic type I signal
peptidase 1 (Plsp1) is involved in protein maturation in two distinct
locations, i.e., the envelope and thylakoids of Arabidopsis thaliana
chloroplasts. Rebecca's work provides biochemical and cytological
evidence to indicate the interesting suborganellar-localization pattern
of Plsp1 and its biological relevance.
