Multimode collective scattering of light in free space by a cold atomic gas [PDF]
We have studied collective recoil lasing by a cold atomic gas, scattering photons from an incident laser into many radiation modes in free space. The model consists of a system of classical equations for the atomic motion of N atoms, where the radiation field has been adiabatically eliminated.

Phenotypic landscape inference reveals multiple evolutionary paths to C$_4$ photosynthesis [PDF]
C$_4$ photosynthesis has independently evolved from the ancestral C$_3$ pathway in at least 60 plant lineages, but, as with other complex traits, how it evolved is unclear.

Intestinal gluconeogenesis and glucose transport according to body fuel availability in rats [PDF]
Intestinal hexose absorption and gluconeogenesis have been studied in relation to refeeding after two different fasting phases: a long period of protein sparing during which energy expenditure is derived from lipid oxidation (phase II), and a later phase characterized by a rise in plasma corticosterone triggering protein catabolism (phase III).

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

Fast dehydration reduces bundle sheath conductance in C4 maize and sorghum. [PDF]
Summary In the face of anthropogenic warming, drought poses an escalating threat to food production. C4 plants offer promise in addressing this threat. C4 leaves operate a biochemical CO2 concentrating mechanism that exchanges metabolites between two partially isolated compartments (mesophyll and bundle sheath), which confers high‐productivity ...

Hydroponic culturing upregulates sucrose and glutamine metabolism by enhancing their utilization via intermediates of aerobic pathway in wheat [PDF]
Two wheat genotypes were grown in hydroponic culture, containing 4 mM KNO3, NH4Cl and NH4NO3. Activities of N metabolizing enzymes, aminotransferases, carbohydrate and TCA cycle enzymes were analyzed along with protein, amino acid, N, sugar content and ...

Rubisco function, evolution, and engineering [PDF]
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.

Background Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) plays an important role in the primary metabolism of higher plants. Several studies have revealed the critical importance of PEPC in the interaction of carbon and nitrogen metabolism.
