Organizational and Functional Principles of the Obligate Respiratory Chain Supercomplex

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
In this review we deliver a comprehensive structural analysis of the actinobacterial respiratory chain supercomplex and discuss the principles underlying the assembly of its supramolecular architecture. ABSTRACT Proton translocating respiratory chain complexes assemble into supramolecular structures in their native cellular environment, yet the ...

Estimating photosynthetic parameter values of rice, wheat, maize and sorghum to enable smart crop cultivation

Crop and Environment, 2022
Crop models can support the design of smart crop management practices. The Farquhar-von Caemmerer-Berry (FvCB) model is increasingly being used in these models for quantifying leaf photosynthesis.

Raman Bands of Malto‐ and Isomalto‐Oligosaccharides as Models for Starch

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
The present study measured Raman spectra of malto‐ and isomalto‐oligosaccharides with various degree of polymerization as models for starch. The data suggest that malto‐oligosaccharides with degree of polymerization ≥ 5 exhibit Raman bands similar to those of starch.

Assessing plant water status: Part 1 – Classical methods

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract As a result of the changing climate, water scarcity poses a significant threat to crop and pasture production. Although soil water content can indicate drought, its measurements often provide limited spatial resolution and are weakly correlated with plant water status, producing misleading drought assessments.

Impact of Sugarcane Management Practices and Time Periods on Soil Organic Carbon and δ13C Signature After Paddy Rice Conversion

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land use change (LUC) from paddy rice to sugarcane cultivation strongly influences soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, with the extent and direction of change depending on residue management and time since conversion. This study aimed to (i) evaluate SOC stock changes under different residue management practices and conversion periods following ...

C4 photosynthetic machinery: insights from maize chloroplast proteomics

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
C4 plants exhibit much higher CO2 assimilation rates than C3 plants. The specialized differentiation of mesophyll cell (M) and bundle sheath cell (BS) type chloroplasts is unique to C4 plants and improves photosynthesis efficiency. Maize (Zea mays) is an

The dominance of non‐native plants over native plants increases with the number of global change factors

Oikos, EarlyView.
Global environmental change and plant invasion are both recognized as key indicators of the Anthropocene. Still, how the number of co‐acting global change factors (GCFs) influence invaded plant communities remains unclear, even though in nature GCFs usually act together rather than alone.

Plant and insect functional traits influence herbivore performance under climate change

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate change is expected to disrupt many trophic interactions, including those between insect herbivores and their host plants, which could have detrimental effects at the ecosystem level. However, the response of insect herbivory to climate change can vary widely across species, and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying this variation is ...

LEAF ANATOMY CHARACTERIZATION OF FOUR Apochloa SPECIES: A C3 GENUS RELATED TO EVOLUTION OF C4 PATHWAY IN GRASSES

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2020
Leaf anatomy characteristics provide important evidences about the transition between C3 and C4 pathways. The C4 photosynthesis pathway allowed to reduce the C3 photorespiratory rate, concentrating CO2 around the Rubisco site and using structures and ...
