Glucose Uncouples Nitrogen Sensing From Chlorosis via a Photosynthetic Checkpoint in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT 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]
Plant Cell EnvironABSTRACT 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]
Physiol PlantAbstract 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]
Appl Plant SciAbstract 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.
