Role of magnesium in carbon partitioning and alleviating photooxidative damage [PDF]

, 2008
Magnesium (Mg) deficiency exerts a major influence on the partitioning of drymatter and carbohydrates between shoots and roots. One of the very early reactions of plants to Mg deficiency stress is themarked increase in the shootto- root dry weight ...

Bioactive polysaccharides and their potential health benefits in reducing the risks of metabolic syndrome: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

Effects of salt and alkali stress on growth, accumulation of oxalic acid, and activity of oxalic acid-metabolizing enzymes in Kochia sieversiana

Biologia Plantarum, 2016
Kochia sieversiana (Pall.) C.A. Mey. is a forage plant that can grow in extremely alkalinized grasslands at pH 10 or higher. Accumulation of a large amount of oxalic acid (OxA) is a primary characteristic of K. sieversiana.

Differences in Physiological Responses of Two Oat (Avena nuda L.) Lines to Sodic-Alkalinity in the Vegetative Stage

Plants, 2020
Sodic-alkalinity is a more seriously limiting factor in agricultural productivity than salinity. Oat (Avena nuda) is a salt-tolerant crop species and is therefore useful in studying the physiological responses of cereals to alkalinity.

The Kalanchoe genome provides insights into convergent evolution and building blocks of crassulacean acid metabolism [PDF]

, 2017
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water-use efficient adaptation of photosynthesis that has evolved independently many times in diverse lineages of flowering plants.

Light Modulation of Maize Leaf Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1986
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) was extracted from maize (Zea mays L. cv Golden Cross Bantam T51) leaves harvested in the dark or light and was partially purified by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation and gel filtration to yield preparations that were 80% homogeneous.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase isoenzymes play an important role in the filling and quality of Arabidopsis thaliana seed

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022
Three plant-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PPC1 to PPC3) and two phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PPCKs: PPCK1 and 2) genes are present in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. In seeds, all PPC genes were found to be expressed. Examination of individual ppc mutants showed little reduction of PEPC protein and global activity, with the notable ...

Effect of drought and heat stresses on photosynthesis, pigments, and xanthophyll cycle in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Photosynthetica, 2020
Climate changes severely influence photosynthetic activity of plants. Studies on the combined effect of drought and heat stress on photosynthesis, pigments, and xanthophyll cycle particularly in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) are limited.
