High‐dimensional elementomes outperform CNP models in explaining photosynthetic traits

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Links between plant elementomes (i.e. the concentration of chemical elements in plant tissue) and functional traits have the potential to improve predictions of plant physiological performance and ecosystem processes, and their response to environmental change.

Rubisco small subunits of C4 plants, Napier grass and guinea grass confer C4-like catalytic properties on Rubisco in rice

Plant Production Science, 2019
Overexpression of Rubisco small subunit (RbcS) of C4 plant, sorghum (sorghum bicolor) was shown to enhance the catalytic turnover rate (kcat) of Rubisco in rice (Oryza sativa).

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Simultaneous modification of Thermotoga maritima encapsulin subunits to produce multivalent nanoparticle vaccines for non‐typhoidal Salmonella enterica

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study investigates the modularity of encapsulin—a protein nanoparticle—by simultaneously inserting up to four distinct Salmonella epitopes within the encapsulin subunit. The encapsulin variants were transiently expressed in plants where they assembled into nanoparticles; however, their accumulation and stability varied depending on the ...

Structural insights into θ‐type carbonic anhydrases 3 and 4: Tuning the directionality of CO2 hydration in a diatom

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
θ‐CA3 from a marine diatom has an N‐terminal transmembrane helix and two homologous catalytic domains. The enzyme functions as a dimer, with active sites formed near the dimer interface. A bicarbonate ion binds on the symmetry axis of the dimer and forms hydrogen bonds with both monomers, thereby activating θ‐CA3 and tuning CO2 hydration activity ...

TaHDA1‐mediated histone and non‐histone deacetylation orchestrates drought tolerance in wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The histone deacetylase TaHDA1 is a key regulator linking histone and non‐histone deacetylation with drought adaptation and a potential target for improving drought resilience and grain nutritional quality in wheat. ABSTRACT Drought stress severely constrains wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and productivity.

Prospects for increasing photosynthesis by overcoming the limitations of Rubisco

, 2007
The low activity and the competing reactions catalysed by Rubisco are major limitations to photosynthetic carbon assimilation in C3 plants; the present paper considers how these limitations can be overcome.

Genome‐scale insights into metabolic streamlining and photosynthetic energy balance in the extremophile green alga Picocystis salinarum (Picocystophyceae, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Picocystis salinarum is an early‐diverging chlorophyte and the sole described member of the Picocystophyceae, frequently dominating hypersaline and alkaline lakes despite extreme physicochemical constraints. To elucidate the genomic foundations of its ecological success, we generated a fully annotated, chromosome‐scale nuclear genome assembly ...

Rubisco activities, properties, and regulation in three different C4 grasses under drought

, 2010
In C4 plants, water deficit may decrease photosynthetic CO 2 assimilation independently of changes in stomatal conductance, suggesting decreased turnover by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco).
