Frontiers 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 ...

Inhibitor-complexed Structures of the Cytochrome bc1 from the Photosynthetic Bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 The cytochrome bc(1) complex (bc(1)) is a major contributor to the proton motive force across the membrane by coupling electron transfer to proton translocation. The crystal structures of wild type and mutant bc(1) complexes from the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides (Rsbc(1)), stabilized with the quinol oxidation (Q(P)) site ...

The Cupric Ion as an Inhibitor of Photosynthetic Electron Transport in Isolated Chloroplasts [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1972 Strong inhibition of uncoupled photosynthetic electron transport by Cu(2+) in isolated spinach chloroplasts was observed by measuring changes in O(2) concentration in the reaction medium. Inhibition was dependent not only on the concentration of the inhibitor, but also on the ratio of chlorophyll to inhibitor.

Characterisation of a chlororespiratory pathway in Beta vulgaris and Trifolium repens : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2002 The chloroplast respiratory pathway (chlororespiration) is postulated to interact with the photosynthetic pathway through the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. Two enzymes are proposed to operate in the pathway: an NAD(P)H dehydrogenase that is homologous to the ...

The derivation of the formyl-group oxygen of chlorophyll b in higher plants from molecular oxygen. [PDF]
, 1994 The mechanism of formation of the formyl group of chlorophyll b has long been obscure but, in this paper, the origin of the 7-formyl-group oxygen of chlorophyll b in higher plants was determined by greening etiolated maize leaves, excised from dark-grown

Ascorbic Acid Mitigates Salt Stress in Tomato Seedlings by Enhancing Chlorophyll Synthesis Pathways
AgronomySalt stress is a critical abiotic factor that adversely affects plant growth and productivity by impairing photosynthesis. This study explores the impact of exogenous ascorbic acid (AsA) on the photosynthetic performance of tomato seedlings (Solanum ...

Sensitivity of freshwater periphytic diatoms to agricultural herbicides [PDF]
, 2009 The biomonitoring of pesticide pollution in streams and rivers using algae such as diatoms remains difficult. The responses of diatomcommunities to toxic stress in streamwater are disturbed by the variations of environmental parameters.
