Anionic lipids stabilize etioplast prolamellar bodies and facilitate thylakoid biogenesis during etioplast-to-chloroplast differentiation

This study investigates the role of anionic lipids in etioplast-to-chloroplast differentiation, finding that phosphatidylglycerol is crucial for membrane processes while sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol supports chloroplast development under PG limitation.

Universal method for generating knockout mice in multiple genetic backgrounds using zygote electroporation

This paper introduces a universal method for generating knockout mice in multiple inbred strains using zygote electroporation, enabling efficient phenotyping for gene function and disease research.
