ABSTRACT Macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) are critical for plant growth and development. Field‐grown canola (Brassica napus L.) is supplemented with fertilizers to maximize plant productivity, while deficiency in these nutrients can cause significant yield loss. A holistic understanding of the interplay

Size matters for single-cell C4 photosynthesis in Bienertia [PDF]
Bienertia cycloptera belongs to a diverse set of plants, recently discovered to perform C4 photosynthesis within individual mesophyll cells. How these plants accomplish high photosynthetic efficiency without adopting Kranz anatomy remains unanswered.

How to Cope With Stress in the Desert—The Date Palm Approach
ABSTRACT Increasing desertification constitutes a global environmental problem, mainly driven by climate change and inappropriate land‐use that limits agriculture, forestry and human colonization. The selection of suitable plant species to mitigate desertification is particularly challenging, as it usually requires simultaneous counteraction against a ...

Comparison of Five Endogenous Reference Genes for Specific PCR Detection and Quantification of Rice
Endogenous reference genes (ERGs) provide vital information regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The successful detection of ERGs can identity GMOs and the source of genes, verify stability and reliability of the detection system, and ...

SCARECROW gene function is required for photosynthetic development in maize
C4 photosynthesis in grasses relies on a specialized leaf anatomy. In maize, this “Kranz” leaf anatomy is patterned in part by the duplicated SCARECROW (SCR) genes ZmSCR1 and ZmSCR1h.

Quantitative model for $^{13}$C tracing applied to citrate production and secretion of prostate epithelial tissue [PDF]
Healthy human prostate epithelial cells have the unique ability to produce and secrete large amounts of citrate into the lumen of the prostate. Citrate is a Krebs cycle metabolite produced in the condensation reaction between acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate in the mitochondria of the cell. With the application of $^{13}$C enriched substrates, such as $^{13}

Abstract Nitrogen (N) nutrition impacts on primary carbon metabolism and can lead to changes in δ13C of respired CO2. However, uncertainty remains as to whether (1) the effect of N nutrition is observed in all species, (2) N source also impacts on respired CO2 in roots and (3) a metabolic model can be constructed to predict δ13C of respired CO2 under ...

Research efforts in plant biology have often been focused on sequenced and well‐studied ‘model’ organisms. Despite the advent of relatively inexpensive genome sequencing, most plant taxonomic groups are underrepresented, with few species that ‘represent’ the diversity of whole genera.

Insights into the regulation of DMSP synthesis in the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana through APR activity, proteomics and gene expression analyses on cells acclimating to changes in salinity, light and nitrogen [PDF]
Despite the importance of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) in the global sulphur cycle and climate regulation, the biological pathways underpinning its synthesis in marine phytoplankton remain poorly understood.
