Conserved cellular patterning in the mesophyll of rice leaves

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2023
The mesophyll cells of grass leaves, such as rice, are traditionally viewed as displaying a relatively uniform pattern, in contrast to the clear distinctions of palisade and spongy layers in typical eudicot leaves. This quantitative analysis of mesophyll

Vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase AVP1 is involved in amine fungicide tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana and provides tridemorph resistance in yeast

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Amine fungicides are widely used as crop protectants. Their success is believed to be related to their ability to inhibit postlanosterol sterol biosynthesis in fungi, in particular sterol-Δ8,Δ7-isomerases and sterol-Δ14-reductases, with a concomitant ...

Genome-wide Association Study Identifies Candidate Loci with Major Contributions to the Genetic Control of Pod Morphological Traits in Snap Bean

open access: yesJournal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2023
Snap beans are cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) that are cultivated for their fleshy immature pods that exhibit a wide diversity of pod shapes and sizes. The genetic basis of the snap bean pod shape is complex and involves the interaction of

Ultrafast spectroscopy reveals singlet fission, ionization and excimer formation in perylene film

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Singlet exciton fission (SF) is a spin-allowed process whereby two triplet excitons are created from one singlet exciton. This phenomenon can offset UV photon energy losses and enhance the overall efficiency in photovoltaic devices.

Expression of a CO2-permeable aquaporin enhances mesophyll conductance in the C4 species Setaria viridis

open access: yeseLife, 2021
A fundamental limitation of photosynthetic carbon fixation is the availability of CO2. In C4 plants, primary carboxylation occurs in mesophyll cytosol, and little is known about the role of CO2 diffusion in facilitating C4 photosynthesis.

Histone Acetylation Modifications Affect Tissue-Dependent Expression of Poplar Homologs of C4 Photosynthetic Enzyme Genes

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Histone modifications play important roles in regulating the expression of C4 photosynthetic genes. Given that all enzymes required for the C4 photosynthesis pathway are present in C3 plants, it has been hypothesized that this expression regulatory ...

A direct coupled electrochemical system for capture and conversion of CO2 from oceanwater

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Isolating CO2 to use in electrochemical CO2 reduction systems is an ongoing issue. Here, the authors present a proof-of-concept integrated system combining a bipolar membrane electrodialysis cell with a vapor-fed CO2 reduction cell for capture and ...
