Intercellular communication in the fern endosymbiotic cyanobacterium Nostoc azollae [PDF]
The water fern Azolla spp. harbors as an endobiont the N2-fixing, filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Nostoc azollae. N. azollae provides the fern with fixed nitrogen permitting its growth in nitrogen-poor environments.

Concepciones de los estudiantes de un contexto rural sobre la fotosíntesis
La fotosíntesis es uno de los ejes temáticos más conflictivos para los estudiantes, por un lado, por su falta de comprensión y, por otro, es el tema con el cual más dificultades acumulan.

Evolution of multicellularity genes in Cyanobacteria in the lead up to the great oxidation event [PDF]
Cyanobacteria, considered responsible for the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) that shaped the Earth for the evolution of complex life, are among the most morphologically diverse prokaryotic phyla.

Glucose Uncouples Nitrogen Sensing From Chlorosis via a Photosynthetic Checkpoint in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria adapt to nitrogen starvation by undergoing chlorosis, a regulated bleaching process that involves the degradation of phycobilisomes, the light‐harvesting antennae complexes, and accumulation of glycogen. While this response is well characterized under photoautotrophic conditions, its modulation by external organic carbon sources ...

The Highly Conserved Cys95 Residue of Fructose-1,6-Bisphosphatase 1 Mediates the pH-Driven Structure and Activity of the Enzyme and Photosynthesis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In Arabidopsis, exposure to microbial volatile compounds promotes thiol reduction of the Cys95 residue of the photosynthetic enzyme fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphatase (cFBP1). Although highly conserved in plants, the Cys95 function still remains unknown. We characterised recombinant wild‐type (WT) cFBP1 and a variant (C95S) in which the Cys95 residue

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the participation of NTRC in iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Abstract NADPH‐dependent thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC) plays a central role in redox regulation of chloroplast photosynthetic metabolism. Accordingly, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) NTRC‐null mutants show defective photosynthetic performance and growth inhibition.

An open-source LED lamp for use with the LI-6800 photosynthesis system. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Controlling light flux density during carbon dioxide assimilation measurements is essential in photosynthesis research. Commercial lamps are expensive and are based on monochromatic light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), which deviate significantly in their spectral distribution compared to sunlight.
