Adaptation responses in C4 photosynthesis of sweet maize (Zea mays L.) exposed to nicosulfuron
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Nicosulfuron is an ingredient in photosynthesis-inhibiting herbicides and has been widely used in corn post-emergence weed control. In the current study, a pair of sister lines, HK301 (nicosulfuron-tolerence, NT) and HK320 (nicosulfuron-sensitive, NS ...

Relationships Between C4 Enzyme Activities and Yield in Soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2013 To study the relationships between C4 enzyme activities and yield, C4 enzyme activities (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase), NADP-malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH), NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME), and pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK)) in different ...

Biophysical characterization of the dimer and tetramer interface interactions of the human cytosolic malic enzyme. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent malic enzyme (c-NADP-ME) has a dimer-dimer quaternary structure in which the dimer interface associates more tightly than the tetramer interface. In this study, the urea-induced unfolding process of the c-NADP-ME interface

NADP-Malate Dehydrogenase of Sweet Sorghum Improves Salt Tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana
, 2018 Sweet sorghum is a C4 crop that shows high salt tolerance and high yield. NADP-malate dehydrogenase (NADP-ME) is a crucial enzyme of the C4 pathway. The regulatory mechanism of NADP-ME remains unclear.

Structural basis for the light regulation of chloroplast NADP malate dehydrogenase
, 2000 The activity of chloroplast NADP-malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH; EC 1.1.1.82) in both C-3 and C-4 plants is regulated by light intensity, In darkness, the activity of the enzyme can be less than 1% of the maximal activity found at high light intensities.
