Photosynthesis and antioxidative defense mechanisms in deciphering drought stress tolerance of crop plants

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2016
Crop plants are regularly exposed to an array of abiotic and biotic stresses, among them drought stress is a major environmental factor that shows adverse effects on plant growth and productivity. Because of this these factors are considered as hazardous

Chalcone-based Selective Inhibitors of a C4 Plant Key Enzyme as Novel Potential Herbicides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Weeds are a challenge for global food production due to their rapidly evolving resistance against herbicides. We have identified chalcones as selective inhibitors of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), a key enzyme for carbon fixation and biomass ...

Low irradiance alters carbon metabolism and delays flower stalk development in two orchids

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2013
In Phalaenopsis, lowering irradiance has been used to delay flower stalk development but the accompanying biochemical changes remain poorly understood. We cultured two commercial Phalaenopsis-type orchids, Phalaenopsis cv.

Expression Profiles of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase and Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Kinase Genes in Phalaenopsis, Implications for Regulating the Performance of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Phalaenopsis is one of the most important potted plants in the ornamental market of the world. Previous reports implied that crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) orchids at their young seedling stages might perform C3 or weak CAM photosynthetic pathways ...

Carbon allocation and carbon isotope fluxes in the plant-soil-atmosphere continuum: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing interest over the past few decades, however, there is still a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C allocated within plants and to the soil, stored within ecosystems and lost to ...

Deletion of the four C-terminal residues of PepC converts an aminopeptidase into an oligopeptidase [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Engineering, Design and Selection, 1999
The aminopeptidase PepC is a cysteine peptidase isolated from lactic acid bacteria. Its structural and enzymatic properties closely resembles those of the bleomycin hydrolases, a group of cytoplasmic enzymes isolated from eukaryotes. Previous biochemical and structural data have shown that the C-terminal end of PepC partially occupies the active site ...

Characterization of bacterial-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase expressed in male gametophyte of higher plants

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is a critical enzyme catalyzing the β-carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to oxaloacetate, a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate.

The Original Form of C4-Photosynthetic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Is Retained in Pooids but Lost in Rice

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Poaceae is the most prominent monocot family that contains the primary cereal crops wheat, rice, and maize. These cereal species exhibit physiological diversity, such as different photosynthetic systems and environmental stress tolerance ...
