Nutritional quality of photosynthetically diverse crops under future climates
Climate change continues to intensify the challenges of food production as agricultural systems face more variable and extreme weather. Coupled with increasing human population, growers must balance increasing crop yields with nutrient content to prevent global malnutrition. Photosynthetic diversity may permit some crops to shrug off climate change and

Binding Sites of Bicarbonate in Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is used in plant metabolism for fruit maturation or seed development as well as in the C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) mechanisms in photosynthesis, where it is used for the capture of hydrated CO2 ...

Eleocharis vivipara provides a prime model for studying photosynthetic plasticity, as it uses C3 photosynthesis underwater and C4 photosynthesis on land. The assembled genome and dynamic gene expression patterns provide new insights into the genetic basis of this photosynthetic transition, which can contribute to crop improvement and breeding ...

Regulatory gateways for cell-specific gene expression in C4 leaves with Kranz anatomy. [PDF]
C4 photosynthesis is a carbon-concentrating mechanism that increases delivery of carbon dioxide to RuBisCO and as a consequence reduces photorespiration. The C4 pathway is therefore beneficial in environments that promote high photorespiration.

Magnesium deficiency-induced changes in organic acid metabolism of Citrus sinensis roots and leaves
Organic acid (OA) metabolisms are of fundamental importance but very limited data are available on the responses of plant OA metabolisms to Mg-deficiency. Seedlings of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv. Xuegan were irrigated with Mg-deficient (0, 50, or 500

Involvement of phospholipase D and phosphatidic acid in the light-dependent up-regulation of sorghum leaf phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase-kinase [PDF]
The photosynthetic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (C4-PEPC) is regulated by phosphorylation by a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PEPC-k). In Digitaria sanguinalis mesophyll protoplasts, this light-mediated transduction cascade principally ...

Transformation And Light Inducible Expression of cry1Ab Gene in Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.) [PDF]
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the third most important oil crop in global productions. One of the major limiting factors for oilseed rape production is lepidopteran pests of the Brassicaceae family.
