Manipulating the Light Systemic Signal HY5 Greatly Improve Fruit Quality in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes that HY5, activated by low‐dose light, acts as a systemic signal to enhance tomato fruit quality by directly promoting carotenoid synthesis and sugar metabolism. These findings demonstrate HY5's mobility from leaves to fruits and its application potential through nighttime LED lighting, offering a practical strategy for crop ...

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Genome‐wide identification and biological relevance of broccoli aquaporins

The Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is an important crop worldwide, and its regular consumption is associated with health benefits due to the presence of various bioactive compounds. An optimal water balance and homeostasis are needed for plant growth; in this sense, aquaporins play a crucial role.

Not All Light Spectra Were Created Equal: Can We Harvest Light for Optimum Food‐Energy Co‐Generation?

Earth's Future, Volume 10, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Humanity's growing appetites for food and energy are placing unprecedented yield targets on our lands. Chasing those ever‐expanding land intensification targets gave rise to monocultures and sharpened the divide between food and energy production groups.

Transcriptomic and Functional Analyses Reveal That PpGLK1 Regulates Chloroplast Development in Peach (Prunus persica)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Peach is an ideal species for fruit tree research because of its small, fully sequenced genome. Chloroplast development is dependent on the tight cooperation between the nuclear and plastid genomes, and is regulated by GLK transcription factors.

Identification and characterization of the yls mutation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) with lower photosynthetic pigment content

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2016
Normal chloroplast development in rice is essential for photosynthesis and yield potential. To explore the physiological and molecular mechanism of chloroplast development, we isolated the rice mutant yls, which has yellow-green leaves at the rice ...

Transcriptome and proteomic analyses reveal multiple differences associated with chloroplast development in the spaceflight-induced wheat albino mutant mta. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Chloroplast development is an integral part of plant survival and growth, and occurs in parallel with chlorophyll biosynthesis. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying chloroplast development in hexaploid wheat.

A model of chloroplast growth regulation in mesophyll cells [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Chloroplasts regulate their growth to optimize photosynthesis. Quantitative data shows that the ratio of total chloroplast area to mesophyll cell area is constant across different cells within a single species, and also across species. Wild-type chloroplasts exhibit little scatter around this trend; highly irregularly-shaped mutant chloroplasts exhibit

Photoinduced electron transfer across phospholipid bilayers in anaerobic and aerobic atmospheres

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
In natural photosynthesis, light‐driven electron transfer across the thylakoid membrane enables efficient charge separation and the confinement of reaction spaces for generating NADPH and CO2 and oxidation of water. These reactions are complementary redox reactions and require different reaction conditions for optimal performance.

Assessing the efficiency of ethyl acetate for lipid extraction as an alternative to the Folch method in selected marine low‐trophic species

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The EtOAc method offers a straightforward and environmentally friendly protocol for lipid extraction, showing efficiency comparable to the Folch method, particularly in extracting lipids with high proportions of neutral lipids and free fatty acids. Abstract The recognized health benefits associated with marine omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
