Expression of the genes encoding rubisco and rubisco activase in cucumber leaves

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEEARCH, 2012
Diurnal changes in the gene expressions and activities of Rubisco and Rubisco activase (RCA) in different position of leaves of cucumber were investigated. The results showed the diurnal variations of the mRNA abundance of rbcL, activities of Rubisco and RCA in 4th apical leaf which gave a single-peak curve, which was similar to the Pn curve on a sunny

Transcriptional gene fusions via targeted integration at safe harbors for high transgene expression in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Conventional genetic engineering in green microalgae employs error‐prone nonhomologous end joining to integrate recombinant DNA at double‐strand breaks generated at random positions across the nuclear genome. This typically results in variable transcription strength and requires a labor‐intensive screening procedure to identify transformants ...

Mesophyll conductance to CO2 and Rubisco as targets for improving intrinsic water use efficiency in C3 plants.

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2016
Water limitation is a major global constraint for plant productivity that is likely to be exacerbated by climate change. Hence, improving plant water use efficiency (WUE) has become a major goal for the near future.

The mechanism of Rubisco‐catalysed oxygenation [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2015
AbstractRibulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the cornerstone of photosynthetic carbon assimilation because it catalyses the fixation of CO2 onto ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate (RuBP). The enzyme also catalyses RuBP oxygenation, thereby evolving phosphoglycolate which is recycled along the photorespiratory pathway.

RNA elements and their biotechnological applications in plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Engineering of plants for improved traits and efficient heterologous protein production can be achieved by modifying or introducing cis‐ or trans‐acting RNA elements. The function of these elements depends not only on their nucleotide sequence but also on their highly dynamic higher order structures.

The pyrenoidal linker protein EPYC1 phase separates with hybrid Arabidopsis–Chlamydomonas Rubisco through interactions with the algal Rubisco small subunit

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2019
Pyrenoid linker EPYC1 interacts with specific structures of the Rubisco small subunit. Modified plant Rubisco interacts with EPYC1 to form pyrenoid-like aggregates, a key feature of the algal CO2-concentrating mechanism.

Rubisco is not really so bad

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2018
AbstractRibulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the most widespread carboxylating enzyme in autotrophic organisms. Its kinetic and structural properties have been intensively studied for more than half a century. Yet important aspects of the catalytic mechanism remain poorly understood, especially the oxygenase reaction. Because of

Guard‐cell expression of abscisic acid receptors for engineering water‐use‐efficient plants without trade‐offs in growth

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Abscisic acid (ABA) induces stomatal closure, reducing transpirational water loss, a critical adaptation for agriculture under drought. However, ABA is often viewed cautiously as stomatal closure limits CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and growth.

Positional 13C enrichment analysis of aspartate determines PEPC activity in vivo

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Photoautotrophic organisms fix inorganic carbon (Ci) by RIBULOSE‐1,5‐BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE/OXYGENASE (RUBISCO) and PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE (PEPC). Monitoring Ci assimilation rates in vivo is a major challenge in analyzing photoautotrophic metabolism and engineering improved photosynthesis, as conventional methods do not distinguish ...

Aphid effector Mp10 balances immune suppression and defence activation through EDS1‐dependent modulation of plant DAMP responses

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Damage‐associated molecular pattern (DAMP)‐triggered immunity (DTI) serves as a crucial first line of defence against aphid attack, yet how aphids manage this response remains unclear. By investigating the colonisation of Arabidopsis thaliana by the highly polyphagous peach–potato aphid (Myzus persicae), we identified cell wall‐derived DAMPs ...
