Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

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.

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.

ZmmiR1432‐ZmCML21‐ZmPMA2 Module Affects Maize Low Phosphate Tolerance via Regulating Organic Acid Secretion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus is indispensable in agricultural production. The growing global demand for food necessitates the development of crops with enhanced phosphorus utilisation efficiency. However, the molecular mechanisms coordinating phosphorus utilisation efficiency in plants remain incompletely characterised.

ZmTH1 Is Vital for Healthy Plant Growth and Promotes Cold/Drought Tolerance by Regulating Thiamin Diphosphate‐Dependent Metabolisms in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.

Comprehensive Detection of Genes Causing a Phenotype using Phenotype Sequencing and Pathway Analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Discovering all the genetic causes of a phenotype is an important goal in functional genomics. In this paper we combine an experimental design for multiple independent detections of the genetic causes of a phenotype, with a high-throughput sequencing ...

Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]

, 2002
Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

Contextualized Metabolic Modelling Revealed Factors Affecting Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (
