Low Salinity Improves Photosynthetic Performance in Panicum antidotale Under Drought Stress
Salinity and drought are two often simultaneously occurring abiotic stresses that limit the production of food crops worldwide. This study aimed to distinguish between the separate and combined impacts of drought and salinity on the plant response ...

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Effect of salicylic acid pretreatment on cadmium toxicity in wheat
Cadmium (100, 400 and 1000 μM CdCl2) treatments resulted in the inhibition of root dry biomass, root elongation and increased Cd accumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) roots.

Characteristic Features of the Regulatory Functions of the ᴅ-Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase from Spinach [PDF]
Catalysis and regulation of CO2 fixation differ in a characteristic manner in their response to anionic modifiers and the polarity of the reaction medium. Monovalent inorganic anions inhibit catalysis and CO2-activation of the ᴅ-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate

The regulation of the air: a hypothesis [PDF]
We propose the hypothesis that natural selection, acting on the specificity or preference for CO<sub>2</sub> over O<sub>2</sub> of the enzyme rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase), has controlled the CO<sub ...

X-ray structure of Galdieria Rubisco complexed with one sulfate ion per active site [PDF]
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzes the reactions of carboxylation and oxygenation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. These reactions require that the active site should be closed by a flexible loop (loop 6) of the large ...
