Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Chlorophyll Deficiency in Ilex × attenuata ‘Sunny Foster’ Mutant
Ilex × attenuata ‘Sunny Foster’ represents a yellow leaf mutant originating from I. × attenuata ‘Foster#2’, a popular ornamental woody cultivar. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this leaf color mutation remain unclear.

Auxin response factor 6A regulates photosynthesis, sugar accumulation, and fruit development in tomato. [PDF]
Auxin response factors (ARFs) are involved in auxin-mediated transcriptional regulation in plants. In this study, we performed functional characterization of SlARF6A in tomato.

Abstract BACKGROUND The use of starter cultures is essential for producing fermented foods with desirable standardized characteristics and for preventing pathogens. Pediococcus acidilactici, isolated from cocoa fermentation, was used in the production of tucupi, a widely appreciated sauce made from the juice of cassava root (manipueira) in the ...

Abstract Imaging Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) fluorometry allows spatially resolved measurements of Photosystem II (PSII) fluorescence kinetics through time without disturbing study organisms or their environments. In particular, the use of photosynthesis–irradiance curves (P–I curves) provides detailed information on PSII quantum efficiency ...

Characterisation of components and mechanisms involved in redox-regulation of protein import into chloroplasts [PDF]
The vast majority of chloroplast proteins is encoded in the nucleus and thus has to be posttranslationally imported into the organelle, a process that is facilitated by two multimeric protein machineries, the Toc and Tic complexes (translocon at the ...

Sediment trap preservative choice impacts particle‐associated microbial community composition
Abstract Understanding and quantifying the microbial contribution to particulate organic matter (POM) flux and carbon cycling in the ocean relies largely on the collection of sinking POM. A critical aspect of evaluating microbial communities on sediment trap‐collected POM is their preservation until recovery and sample processing.

Characterisation of a chlororespiratory pathway in Beta vulgaris and Trifolium repens : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
The chloroplast respiratory pathway (chlororespiration) is postulated to interact with the photosynthetic pathway through the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. Two enzymes are proposed to operate in the pathway: an NAD(P)H dehydrogenase that is homologous to the ...
