Abscisic acid as a factor in regulation of photosynthetic carbon metabolism of pea seedlings
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The influence of abscisic acid (ABA) on carbon metabolism and the activity of ribulosebisphosphate (RuBP) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylases in 8-day-old pea seedlings was investigated.

Evidence of coexistence of C₃ and C₄ photosynthetic pathways in a green-tide-forming alga, Ulva prolifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Ulva prolifera, a typical green-tide-forming alga, can accumulate a large biomass in a relatively short time period, suggesting that photosynthesis in this organism, particularly its carbon fixation pathway, must be very efficient.

Rubisco function, evolution, and engineering [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Carbon fixation is the process by which CO2 is converted from a gas into biomass. The Calvin Benson Bassham (CBB) cycle is the dominant carbon fixation pathway on earth, driving >99.5% of the ~120 billion tons of carbon that are "fixed" as sugar, by plants, algae and cyanobacteria.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase identified as a key enzyme in erythrocytic Plasmodium falciparum carbon metabolism. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Phospoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is absent from humans but encoded in the Plasmodium falciparum genome, suggesting that PEPC has a parasite-specific function. To investigate its importance in P. falciparum, we generated a pepc null mutant (D10(Δpepc)

Convergent molecular evolution of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase gene family in C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism plants [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), as the key enzyme in initial carbon fixation of C4and crassulacean acid mechanism (CAM) pathways, was thought to undergo convergent adaptive changes resulting in the convergent evolution of C4 and CAM ...

Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Activity in Maize Leaves [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1987 The aim of this work was to investigate how light regulates the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase in vivo in C(4) plants. The properties of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase were investigated in extracts which were rapidly prepared (in less than 30 seconds) from darkened and illuminated leaves of Zea mays. Illumination resulted in a significant

Biologia Plantarum, 2017 Vriesea gigantea Gaudichaud is an epiphytic bromeliad with a high capacity to take up urea. In plants, urea is hydrolyzed by urease into ammonium and CO2, providing nitrogen to the plant.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Cassava is a staple crop that acclimatizes well to dry weather and limited water availability. The drought response mechanism of quick stomatal closure observed in cassava has no explicit link to the metabolism connecting its physiological response and ...
