Plants exposed to titanium dioxide nanoparticles acquired contrasting photosynthetic and morphological strategies depending on the growing light intensity: a case study in radish

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Due to the photocatalytic property of titanium dioxide (TiO2), its application may be dependent on the growing light environment. In this study, radish plants were cultivated under four light intensities (75, 150, 300, and 600 μmol m−2 s−1 photosynthetic

Evolution of Photosynthesis and Biospheric Oxygenation Contingent Upon Nitrogen Fixation? [PDF]

open access: yesInt.J.Astrobiol. 4 (2005) 251-257, 2006
How photosynthesis by Precambrian cyanobacteria oxygenated Earth's biosphere remains incompletely understood. Here it is argued that the oxic transition, which took place between approximately 2.3 and 0.5 Gyr ago, required a great proliferation of cyanobacteria, and this in turn depended on their ability to fix nitrogen via the nitrogenase enzyme ...

Efficiency of the oxygenic photosynthesis on Earth-like planets in the habitable zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Oxygenic photosynthesis is the most important biochemical process in Earth biosphere and likely very common on other habitable terrestrial planets, given the general availability of its input chemical ingredients and of light as source of energy. It is therefore important to evaluate the effective possibility of oxygenic photosynthesis on planets ...

Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...

Unified representation of the C3, C4, and CAM photosynthetic pathways with the Photo3 model [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Modelling, 384, 173-187 (2018), 2018
Recently, interest in crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis has risen and new, physiologically based CAM models have emerged. These models show promise, yet unlike the more widely used physiological models of C3 and C4 photosynthesis, their complexity has thus far inhibited their adoption in the general community.

The repressive role of Arabidopsis H2A.Z in transcriptional regulation depends on AtBMI1 activity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Arabidopsis H2A.Z plays an important role in regulating gene expression in response to stressors; however, the underlying mechanism is still puzzling.

Photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis research [PDF]

open access: yesResearch on Chemical Intermediates, 2014
Since the emergence of modern science, photosynthesis has been the focus of interest of many researchers because of its importance for all forms of life on this planet. In particular, remarkable progress has been made during the last two decades.

A Phosphite Dehydrogenase Variant with Promiscuous Access to Nicotinamide Cofactor Pools Sustains Fast Phosphite-Dependent Growth of Transplastomic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Heterologous expression of the NAD+-dependent phosphite dehydrogenase (PTXD) bacterial enzyme from Pseudomonas stutzerii enables selective growth of transgenic organisms by using phosphite as sole phosphorous source.

Changing patterns of global-scale vegetation photosynthesis, 1982-1999 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The primary objective of this research was to assess changes in global vegetation photosynthesis between 1982 and 1999. Global-scale Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from the Pathfinder ...
