  abstract  = {The movement of organisms has formed our planet like few other processes. Movements shape populations, communities, entire ecosystems, and guarantee fundamental ecosystem functions and services, like seed dispersal and pollination. Global, regional and local anthropogenic impacts influence animal movements across ecosystems all around the world. In particular, land-use modification, like habitat loss and fragmentation disrupt movements between habitats with profound consequences, from increased disease transmissions to reduced species richness and abundance. However, neither the influence of anthropogenic change on animal movement processes nor the resulting effects on ecosystems are well understood. Therefore, we need a coherent understanding of organismal movement processes and their underlying mechanisms to predict and prevent altered animal movements and their consequences for ecosystem functions. In this thesis I aim at understanding the influence of anthropogenically caused land-use change on animal movement processes and their underlying mechanisms. In particular, I am interested in the synergistic influence of large-scale landscape structure and fine-scale habitat features on basic-level movement behaviours (e.g. the daily amount of time spend running, foraging, and resting) and their emerging higher-level movements (home range formation). Based on my findings, I identify the likely consequences of altered animal movements that lead to the loss of species richness and abundances. The study system of my thesis are hares in agricultural landscapes. European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) are perfectly suited to study animal movements in agricultural landscapes, as hares are hermerophiles and prefer open habitats. They have historically thrived in agricultural landscapes, but their numbers are in decline. Agricultural areas are undergoing strong land-use changes due to increasing food demand and fast developing agricultural technologies. They are already the largest land-use class, covering 38\% of the world's terrestrial surface. To consider the relevance of a given landscape structure for animal movement behaviour I selected two differently structured agricultural landscapes - a simple landscape in Northern Germany with large fields and few landscape elements (e.g. hedges and tree stands), and a complex landscape in Southern Germany with small fields and many landscape elements. I applied GPS devices (hourly fixes) with internal high-resolution accelerometers (4 min samples) to track hares, receiving an almost continuous observation of the animals' behaviours via acceleration analyses. I used the spatial and behavioural information in combination with remote sensing data (normalized difference vegetation index, or NDVI, a proxy for resource availability), generating an almost complete idea of what the animal was doing when, why and where. Apart from landscape structure (represented by the two differently structured study areas), I specifically tested whether the following fine-scale habitat features influence animal movements: resource, agricultural management events, habitat diversity, and habitat structure. My results show that, irrespective of the movement process or mechanism and the type of fine-scale habitat features, landscape structure was the overarching variable influencing hare movement behaviour. High resource variability forces hares to enlarge their home ranges, but only in the simple and not in the complex landscape. Agricultural management events result in home range shifts in both landscapes, but force hares to increase their home ranges only in the simple landscape. Also the preference of habitat patches with low vegetation and the avoidance of high vegetation, was stronger in the simple landscape. High and dense crop fields restricted hare movements temporarily to very local and small habitat patch remnants. Such insuperable barriers can separate habitat patches that were previously connected by mobile links. Hence, the transport of nutrients and genetic material is temporarily disrupted. This mechanism is also working on a global scale, as human induced changes from habitat loss and fragmentation to expanding monocultures cause a reduction in animal movements worldwide. The mechanisms behind those findings show that higher-level movements, like increasing home ranges, emerge from underlying basic-level movements, like the behavioural modes. An increasing landscape simplicity first acts on the behavioural modes, i.e. hares run and forage more, but have less time to rest. Hence, the emergence of increased home range sizes in simple landscapes is based on an increased proportion of time running and foraging, largely due to longer travelling times between distant habitats and scarce resource items in the landscape. This relationship was especially strong during the reproductive phase, demonstrating the importance of high-quality habitat for reproduction and the need to keep up self-maintenance first, in low quality areas. These changes in movement behaviour may release a cascade of processes that start with more time being allocated to running and foraging, resulting into an increased energy expenditure and may lead to a decline in individual fitness. A decrease in individual fitness and reproductive output will ultimately affect population viability leading to local extinctions. In conclusion, I show that landscape structure has one of the most important effects on hare movement behaviour. Synergistic effects of landscape structure, and fine-scale habitat features, first affect and modify basic-level movement behaviours, that can scales up to altered higher-level movements and may even lead to the decline of species richness and abundances, and the disruption of ecosystem functions. Understanding the connection between movement mechanisms and processes can help to predict and prevent anthropogenically induced changes in movement behaviour. With regard to the paramount importance of landscape structure, I strongly recommend to decrease the size of agricultural fields and increase crop diversity. On the small-scale, conservation policies should assure the year round provision of areas with low vegetation height and high quality forage. This could be done by generating wildflower strips and additional (semi-) natural habitat patches. This will not only help to increase the populations of European brown hares and other farmland species, but also ensure and protects the continuity of mobile links and their intrinsic value for sustaining important ecosystem functions and services.},

  abstract  = {Even though the structure of the plant cell wall is by and large quite well characterized, its synthesis and regulation remains largely obscure. However, it is accepted that the building blocks of the polysaccharidic part of the plant cell wall are nucleotide sugars. Thus to gain more insight into the cell wall biosynthesis, in the first part of this thesis, plant genes possibly involved in the nucleotide sugar interconversion pathway were identified using a bioinformatics approach and characterized in plants, mainly in Arabidopsis. For the computational identification profile hidden markov models were extracted from the Pfam and TIGR databases. Mainly with these, plant genes were identified facilitating the "hmmer" program. Several gene families were identified and three were further characterized, the UDP-rhamnose synthase (RHM), UDP-glucuronic acid epimerase (GAE) and the myo-inositol oxygenase (MIOX) families. For the three-membered RHM family relative ubiquitous expression was shown using variuos methods. For one of these genes, RHM2, T-DNA lines could be obtained. Moreover, the transcription of the whole family was downregulated facilitating an RNAi approach. In both cases a alteration of cell wall typic polysaccharides and developmental changes could be shown. In the case of the rhm2 mutant these were restricted to the seed or the seed mucilage, whereas the RNAi plants showed profound changes in the whole plant. In the case of the six-membered GAE family, the gene expressed to the highest level (GAE6) was cloned, expressed heterologously and its function was characterized. Thus, it could be shown that GAE6 encodes for an enzyme responsible for the conversion of UDP-glucuronic acid to UDP-galacturonic acid. However, a change in transcript level of variuos GAE family members achieved by T-DNA insertions (gae2, gae5, gae6), overexpression (GAE6) or an RNAi approach, targeting the whole family, did not reveal any robust changes in the cell wall. Contrary to the other two families the MIOX gene family had to be identified using a BLAST based approach due to the lack of enough suitable candidate genes for building a hidden markov model. An initial bioinformatic characterization was performed which will lead to further insights into this pathway. In total it was possible to identify the two gene families which are involved in the synthesis of the two pectin backbone sugars galacturonic acid and rhamnose. Moreover with the identification of the MIOX genes a genefamily, important for the supply of nucleotide sugar precursors was identified. In a second part of this thesis publicly available microarray datasets were analyzed with respect to co-responsive behavior of transcripts on a global basis using nearly 10,000 genes. The data has been made available to the community in form of a database providing additional statistical and visualization tools (http://csbdb.mpimp-golm.mpg.de). Using the framework of the database to identify nucleotide sugar converting genes indicated that co-response might be used for identification of novel genes involved in cell wall synthesis based on already known genes.},

  abstract  = {Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth and cell wall (CW) synthesis is one of the major carbon consumers in the plant cell. Structure and several interaction partners of plasma membrane (PM)-bound cellulose synthase (CESA) complexes, CSCs, have been studied extensively, but much less is understood about the signals that activate and translocate CESAs to the PM and how exactly cellulose synthesis is being regulated during the diel cycle. The literature describes CSC regulation possibilities through interactions with accessory proteins upon stress conditions (e.g. CC1), post-translational modifications that regulate CSC speed and their possible anchoring in the PM (e.g. with phosphorylation and S-acylation, respectively). In this thesis, 13CO2 labeling and imaging techniques were employed in the same Arabidopsis seedling growth system to elucidate how and when new carbon is incorporated into cell wall (CW) sugars and UDP-glucose, and to follow CSC behavior during the diel cycle. Additionally, an ubiquitination analysis was performed to investigate a possible mechanism to affect CSC trafficking to and/or from the PM. Carbon is being incorporated into CW glucose at a 3-fold higher rate during the light period in comparison to the night in wild-type seedlings. Furthermore, CSC density at the PM, as an indication of active cellulose synthesizing machinery, is increasing in the light and falling during the night, showing that CW biosynthesis is more active in the light. Therefore, CW synthesis might be regulated by the carbon status of the cell. This regulation is broken in the starchless pgm mutant where light and dark carbon incorporation rates into CW glucose are similar, possibly due to the high soluble sugar content in pgm during the first part of the night. Strikingly, pgm CSC abundance at the PM is constantly low during the whole diel cycle, indicating little or no cellulose synthesis, but can be restored with exogenous sucrose or a longer photoperiod. Ubiquitination was explored as a possible regulating mechanism for translocation of primary CW CSCs from the PM and several potential ubiquitination sites have been identified.. The approach in this thesis enabled to study cellulose/CW synthesis from different angles but in the same growth system, allowing direct comparison of those methodologies, which could help understand the relationship between the amount of available carbon in a plant cell and the cells capacity to synthesize cellulose/CW. Understanding which factors contribute to cellulose synthesis regulation and addressing those fundamental questions can provide essential knowledge to manage the need for increased crop production.},

  abstract  = {Photosynthesis converts light into metabolic energy which fuels plant growth. In nature, many factors influence light availability for photosynthesis on different time scales, from shading by leaves within seconds up to seasonal changes over months. Variability of light energy supply for photosynthesis can limit a plant´s biomass accumulation. Plants have evolved multiple strategies to cope with strongly fluctuation light (FL). These range from long-term optimization of leaf morphology and physiology and levels of pigments and proteins in a process called light acclimation, to rapid changes in protein activity within seconds. Therefore, uncovering how plants deal with FL on different time scales may provide key ideas for improving crop yield. Photosynthesis is not an isolated process but tightly integrates with metabolism through mutual regulatory interactions. We thus require mechanistic understanding of how long-term light acclimation shapes both, dynamic photosynthesis and its interactions with downstream metabolism. To approach this, we analyzed the influence of growth light on i) the function of known rapid photosynthesis regulators KEA3 and VCCN1 in dynamic photosynthesis (Chapter 2-3) and ii) the interconnection of photosynthesis with photorespiration (PR; Chapter 4). We approached topic (i) by quantifying the effect of different growth light regimes on photosynthesis and photoprotection by using kea3 and vccn1 mutants. Firstly, we found that, besides photosynthetic capacity, the activities of VCCN1 and KEA3 during a sudden high light phase also correlated with growth light intensity. This finding suggests regulation of both proteins by the capacity of downstream metabolism. Secondly, we showed that KEA3 accelerated photoprotective non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) kinetics in two ways: Directly via downregulating the lumen proton concentration and thereby de-activating pH-dependent NPQ, and indirectly via suppressing accumulation of the photoprotective pigment zeaxanthin. For topic (ii), we analyzed the role of PR, a process which recycles a toxic byproduct of the carbon fixation reactions, in metabolic flexibility in a dynamically changing light environment. For this we employed the mutants hpr1 and ggt1 with a partial block in PR. We characterized the function of PR during light acclimation by tracking molecular and physiological changes of the two mutants. Our data, in contrast to previous reports, disprove a generally stronger physiological relevance of PR under dynamic light conditions. Additionally, the two different mutants showed pronounced and distinct metabolic changes during acclimation to a condition inducing higher photosynthetic activity. This underlines that PR cannot be regarded purely as a cyclic detoxification pathway for 2PG. Instead, PR is highly interconnected with plant metabolism, with GGT1 and HPR1 representing distinct metabolic modulators. In summary, the presented work provides further insight into how energetic and metabolic flexibility is ensured by short-term regulators and PR during long-term light acclimation.},

  abstract  = {Metabolismus in Pflanzenzellen ist stark kompartimentiert. Viele Stoffwechselwege haben Reaktionen in mehr als einem Kompartiment. Zum Beispiel wird w{\"a}hrend der Photosynthese in pflanzlichen Mesophyllzellen Kohlenstoff in Form von St{\"a}rke in den Chloroplasten synthetisiert, w{\"a}hrend es im Zytosol in Form von Sacharose gebildet und in der Vakuole gespeichert wird. Diese Reaktionen sind strikt reguliert um ein Gleichgewicht der Kohlenstoffpools der verschiedenen Kompartimente aufrecht zu erhalten und die Energieversorgung aller Teile der Zelle f{\"u}r anabolische Reaktionen sicher zu stellen. Ich wende eine Methode an, bei der die Zellen unter nicht-w{\"a}ssrigen Bedingungen fraktioniert werden und daher der metabolische Status der w{\"a}hrend der Ernte herrschte {\"u}ber den ganzen Zeitraum der Auftrennung beibehalten wird. Durch die Kombination von nichtw{\"a}ssriger Fraktionierung und verschiedener Massenspektrometrietechniken (Fl{\"u}ssigchromotagraphie- und Gaschromotagraphie basierende Massenspekrometrie) ist es m{\"o}glich die intrazellul{\"a}re Verteilung der meisten Intermediate des photosynthetischen Kohlenstoffstoffwechsels und der Produkte der nachgelagerten metabolischen Reaktionen zu bestimmen. Das Wissen {\"u}ber die in vivo Konzentrationen dieser Metabolite wurde genutzt um die {\"A}nderung der freien Gibbs Energie in vivo zu bestimmen. Mit Hilfe dessen kann bestimmt werden, welche Reaktion sich in einem Gleichgewichtszustand befinden und welche davon entfernt sind. Die Konzentration der Enzyme und der Km Werte wurden mit den Konzentrationen der Metabolite in vivo verglichen, um festzustellen, welche Enzyme substratlimitiert sind und somit sensitiv gegen{\"u}ber {\"A}nderungen der Substratkonzentration sind. Verschiedene Intermediate des Calvin-Benson Zyklus sind gleichzeitig Substrate f{\"u}r andere Stoffwechselwege, als da w{\"a}ren Dihyroxyaceton-phosphat (DHAP, Saccharosesynthese), Fructose 6-phosphat (Fru6P, St{\"a}rkesynthese), Erythrose 4-phosphat (E4P, Shikimat Stoffwechselweg) und Ribose 5-phosphat (R5P, Nukleotidbiosynthese). Die Enzyme, die diese Intermediate verstoffwechseln, liegen an den Abzweigungspunkten zu diesen Stoffwechselwegen. Diese sind Trisose phosphat isomerase (DHAP), Transketolase (E4P), Sedoheptulose-1,7 biphosphat aldolase (E4P) und Ribose-5-phosphat isomerase (R5P), welche nicht mit ihren Substraten ges{\"a}ttigt sind, da die jeweilige Substratkonzentration geringer als der zugeh{\"o}rige Km Wert ist. F{\"u}r metabolische Kontrolle bedeutet dies, dass diese Schritte am sensitivsten gegen{\"u}ber {\"A}nderungen der Substratkonzentrationen sind. Im Gegensatz dazu sind die regulierten irreversiblen Schritte von Fructose-1,6.biphosphatase und Sedoheptulose-1,7-biphosphatase relativ insensitiv gegen{\"u}ber {\"A}nderungen der Substratkonzentration. F{\"u}r den Stoffwechselweg der Saccharosesynthese konnte gezeigt werden, dass die zytosolische Aldolase eine geringer Bindeseitenkonzentration als Substratkonzentration (DHAP) aufweist, und dass die Konzentration von Saccharose-6-phosphat geringer als der Km Wert des synthetisierenden Enzyms Saccharose-phosphatase ist. Sowohl die Saccharose-phosphat-synthase, also auch die Saccharose-phosphatase sind in vivo weit von einem Gleichgewichtszustand entfernt. In Wildtyp Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia-0 Bl{\"a}ttern wurde der gesamte Pool von ADPGlc im Chloroplasten gefunden. Das Enzyme ADPGlc pyrophosphorylase ist im Chloroplasten lokalisiert und synthetisiert ADPGlc aus ATP und Glc1P. Dieses Verteilungsmuster spricht eindeutig gegen die Hypothese von Pozueta-Romero und Kollegen, dass ADPGlc im Zytosol durch ADP vermittelte Spaltung von Saccharose durch die Saccharose Synthase erzeugt wird. Basierend auf dieser Beobachtung und anderen ver{\"o}ffentlichten Ergebnissen wurde geschlußfolgert, dass der generell akzeptierte Stoffwechselweg der St{\"a}rkesynthese durch ADPGlc Produktion via ADPGlc pyrophosphorylase in den Chloroplasten korrekt ist, und die Hypothese des alternativen Stoffwechselweges unhaltbar ist. Innerhalb des Stoffwechselweges der Saccharosesynthsese wurde festgestellt, dass die Konzentration von ADPGlc geringer als der Km Wert des St{\"a}rkesynthase ist, was darauf hindeutet, dass das Enzym substratlimitiert ist. Eine generelle Beobachtung ist, dass viele Enzmye des Calvin-Benson Zyklus {\"a}hnliche Bindeseitenkonzentrationen wie Metabolitkonzentrationen aufweisen, wohingegen in den Synthesewegen von Saccharose und St{\"a}rke die Bindeseitenkonzentrationen der Enzyme viel geringer als die Metabolitkonzentrationen sind.},

  abstract  = {W{\"a}hrend ihrer Entwicklung m{\"u}ssen sich Pflanzen an Temperaturschwankungen anpassen. Niedrige Temperaturen {\"u}ber dem Gefrierpunkt induzieren in Pflanzen eine K{\"a}lteakklimatisierung und h{\"o}here Frosttoleranz, die sich bei w{\"a}rmeren Temperaturen durch Deakklimatisierung wieder zur{\"u}ckbildet. Der Wechsel zwischen diesen beiden Prozessen ist f{\"u}r Pflanzen unerl{\"a}sslich, um als Reaktion auf unterschiedliche Temperaturbedingungen eine optimale Fitness zu erreichen. Die K{\"a}lteakklimatisierung ist umfassend untersucht worden,{\"u}ber die Regulierung der Deakklimatisierung ist jedoch wenig bekannt. In dieser Arbeit wird der Prozess der Deakklimatisierung auf physiologischer und molekularer Ebene in Arabidopsis thaliana untersucht. Messungen des Elektrolytverlustes w{\"a}hrend der K{\"a}lteakklimatisierung und bis zu vier Tagen nach Deakklimatisierung erm{\"o}glichten die Identifizierung von vier Knockout-Mutanten (hra1, lbd41, mbf1c und jub1), die im Vergleich zum Wildtyp eine langsamere Deakklimatisierungsrate aufwiesen. Eine transkriptomische Studie mit Hilfe von RNA-Sequenzierung von A. thaliana Col-0, jub1 und mbf1c zeigte die Bedeutung der Hemmung von stressreaktiven und Jasmonat-ZIM-Dom{\"a}nen-Genen sowie die Regulierung von Zellwandmodifikationen w{\"a}hrend der Deakklimatisierung. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus zeigten Messungen der Alkoholdehydrogenase Aktivit{\"a}t und der Genexpressions{\"a}nderungen von Hypoxiemarkern w{\"a}hrend der ersten vier Tagen der Deakklimatisierung, dass eine Hypoxie-Reaktion w{\"a}hrend der Deakklimatisierung aktiviert wird. Es wurde gezeigt, dass die epigenetische Regulierung w{\"a}hrend der K{\"a}lteakklimatisierung und der 24-st{\"u}ndigen Deakklimatisierung in A. thaliana eine große Rolle spielt. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus zeigten beide Deakklimatisierungsstudien, dass die fr{\"u}here Hypothese, dass Hitzestress eine Rolle bei der fr{\"u}hen Deakklimatisierung spielen k{\"o}nnte, unwahrscheinlich ist. Eine Reihe von DNA- und Histondemethylasen sowie Histonvarianten wurden w{\"a}hrend der Deakklimatisierung hochreguliert, was auf eine Rolle im pflanzlichen Ged{\"a}chtnis schließen l{\"a}sst. In j{\"u}ngster Zeit haben mehrere Studien gezeigt, dass Pflanzen in der Lage sind, die Erinnerung an einen vorangegangenen K{\"a}ltestress auch nach einer Woche Deakklimatisierung zu bewahren. In dieser Arbeit ergaben Transkriptom- und Metabolomanalysen von Arabidopsis w{\"a}hrend 24 Stunden Priming (K{\"a}lteakklimatisierung) und Triggering (wiederkehrender K{\"a}ltestress nach Deakklimatisierung) eine unikale signifikante und vor{\"u}bergehende Induktion der Transkriptionsfaktoren DREB1D, DREB1E und DREB1F w{\"a}hrend des Triggerings, die zur Feinabstimmung der zweiten K{\"a}ltestressreaktion beitr{\"a}gt. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wurden Gene, die f{\"u}r Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) und Frostschutzproteine kodieren, sowie Proteine, die reaktive Sauerstoffspezies entgiften, w{\"a}hrend des sp{\"a}ten Triggerings (24 Stunden) st{\"a}rker induziert als nach dem ersten K{\"a}lteimpuls, w{\"a}hrend Xyloglucan- Endotransglucosylase/Hydrolase Gene, deren Produkte f{\"u}r eine Restrukturierung der Zellwand verantwortlich sind, fr{\"u}h auf das Triggering reagierten. Die starke Induktion dieser Gene, sowohl bei der Deakklimatisierung als auch beim Triggering, l{\"a}sst vermuten, dass sie eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Stabilisierung der Zellen w{\"a}hrend des Wachstums und bei der Reaktion auf wiederkehrende Stressbedingungen spielen. Zusammenfassend gibt diese Arbeit neue Einblicke in die Regulierung der Deakklimatisierung und des K{\"a}ltestress-Ged{\"a}chtnisses in A. thaliana und er{\"o}ffnet neue M{\"o}glichkeiten f{\"u}r k{\"u}nftige, gezielte Studien von essentiellen Genen in diesem Prozess.},

  abstract  = {The morphogenesis of sessile plants is mainly driven by directional cell growth and cell division. The organization of their cytoskeleton and the mechanical properties of the cell wall greatly influence morphogenetic events in plants. It is well known that cortical microtubules (CMTs) contribute to directional growth by regulating the deposition of the cellulose microfibrils, as major cell wall fortifying elements. More recent findings demonstrate that mechanical stresses existing in cells and tissues influence microtubule organization. Also, in dividing cells, mechanical stress directions contribute to the orientation of the new cell wall. In comparison to the microtubule cytoskeleton, the role of the actin cytoskeleton in regulating shoot meristem morphogenesis has not been extensively studied. This thesis focuses on the functional relevance of the actin cytoskeleton during cell and tissue scale morphogenesis in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) of Arabidopsis thaliana. Visualization of transcriptional reporters indicates that ACTIN2 and ACTIN7 are two highly expressed actin genes in the SAM. A link between the actin cytoskeleton and SAM development derives from the observation that the act2-1 act7-1 double mutant has abnormal cell shape and perturbed phyllotactic patterns. Live-cell imaging of the actin cytoskeleton further shows that its organization correlates with cell shape, which indicates a potential role of actin in influencing cellular morphogenesis. In this thesis, a detailed characterization of the act2-1 act7-1 mutant reveals that perturbation of actin leads to more rectangular cellular geometries with more 90° cell internal angles, and higher incidences of four-way junctions (four cell boundaries intersecting together). This observation deviates from the conventional tricellular junctions found in epidermal cells. Quantitative cellular-level growth data indicates that such differences in the act2-1 act7-1 mutant arise due to the reduced accuracy in the placement of the new cell wall, as well as its mechanical maturation. Changes in cellular morphology observed in the act2-1 act7-1 mutant result in cell packing defects that subsequently compromise the flow of information among cells in the SAM.},
