Nuclear Photosynthetic Gene Expression Is Synergistically Modulated by Rates of Protein Synthesis in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria [PDF]
Arabidopsis thaliana mutants prors1-1 and -2 were identified on the basis of a decrease in effective photosystem II quantum yield. Mutations were localized to the 5'-untranslated region of the nuclear gene PROLYL-tRNA SYNTHETASE1 (PRORS1), which acts in ...

Employing Nanotechnology to Enhance Ethanol Production in Two Synechococcus elongatus Strains
Here, we report on how bacterial microcompartment technology can be used to improve bioproduction in cyanobacteria. Fusion of encapsulation peptides to the two enzymes of the ethanol biosynthetic pathway increased ethanol titres up to 84 times. 1.31 g L−1 of ethanol was produced in 6 days.

Dynamic plastid redox signals integrate gene expression and metabolism to induce distinct metabolic states in photosynthetic acclimation in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plants possess acclimation responses in which structural reconfigurations adapt the photosynthetic apparatus to fluctuating illumination. Long-term acclimation involves changes in plastid and nuclear gene expression and is controlled by redox signals ...

Self‐constructed Unmanned Surface Vehicles were deployed at coral reefs on Reunion Island to capture environmental DNA (eDNA), identifying changes in animal communities depending on the time of day and sampling station. These findings suggest specific sites for high‐frequency, long‐term eDNA monitoring using low‐cost mobile devices.

Slugs in gardens: Their numbers, activities and distribution. Part 2 [PDF]
Section 8. Observations of slugs feeding in gardens indicate that very little of their food consists of plant material grown for human consumption or pleasure. In places where one crop only is grown, e.g. potato patches in the autumn, the damage would be

Low levels of ribosomal RNA partly account for the very high photosynthetic phosphorus-use efficiency of Proteaceae species [PDF]
Proteaceae species in south-western Australia occur on phosphorus- (P) impoverished soils. Their leaves contain very low P levels, but have relatively high rates of photosynthesis.

Endozoochory by slugs can increase bryophyte establishment and species richness [PDF]
Herbivory can affect plant community composition and diversity by removing biomass and reducing light competition. Herbivory may particularly benefit low growing species such as bryophytes, which are frequently limited by light competition.

Abstract Sacoglossa sea slugs have garnered attention due to their ability to retain intracellular functional chloroplasts from algae, while degrading other algal cell components. While protective mechanisms that limit oxidative damage under excessive light are well documented in plants and algae, the photoprotective ...
