Starch breakdown in leaves at night is tightly matched to the duration of the dark period, but the mechanism by which this regulation is achieved is unknown. In Arabidopsis chloroplasts, β-amylase BAM3 hydrolyses transitory starch, producing maltose and residual maltotriose.

Among intrinsically disordered proteins, conditionally disordered proteins undergo dramatic structural disorder rearrangements upon environmental changes and/or post-translational modifications that directly modulate their function. Quantifying the dynamics of these fluctuating proteins is extremely challenging but paramount to understanding the regulation of

Nine genes of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) encode for beta-amylase isozymes. Six members of the family are predicted to be extrachloroplastic isozymes and three contain predicted plastid transit peptides. Among the latter, chloroplast-targeted beta-amylase (At4g17090) and thioredoxin-regulated beta-amylase (TR-BAMY; At3g23920; this

Reactive sulfane sulfur, including persulfide and polysulfide, is a type of regular cellular component, playing an antioxidant role. Its function may be organelle-dependent; however, the shortage of probes for detecting organellar reactive sulfane sulfur has hindered further investigation. Herein, we
