The relative abundance of wheat Rubisco activase isoforms is post-transcriptionally regulated. [PDF]
Diurnal rhythms and light availability affect transcription–translation feedback loops that regulate the synthesis of photosynthetic proteins. The CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco is the most abundant protein in the leaves of major crop species and its activity

Identification of putative RuBisCo activase (TaRca1) ˗ the catalytic chaperone regulating carbon assimilatory pathway in wheat (Triticum aestivum) under the heat stress [PDF]
RuBisCo activase (Rca) is a catalytic chaperone involved in modulating the activity of RuBisCo (key enzyme of photosynthetic pathway). Here, we identified eight novel transcripts from wheat through data mining predicted to be Rca and cloned a transcript ...

Silicon Modulates the Chloroplast Proteome to Enhance Drought Tolerance in Soybean [PDF]
Soybeans are highly susceptible to drought stress, which significantly impairs their growth and yield. Silicon (Si) supplementation has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate drought-induced damage in plants.

Activation of interspecies-hybrid Rubisco enzymes to assess different models for the Rubisco–Rubisco activase interaction [PDF]
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is prone to inactivation from non-productive binding of sugar-phosphates. Reactivation of Rubisco requires conformational remodeling by a specific chaperone, Rubisco activase.

Photosynthesis-related genetic and transcriptomic variations contribute to adaptive trait diversity in global Arabidopsis thaliana populations [PDF]
Photosynthesis is the foundational process for carbon fixation in terrestrial ecosystems. Although allelic variations in photosynthesis-related genes have the potential to enhance carbon assimilation efficiency, their functional roles in local adaptation

Effects of OsRCA Overexpression on Rubisco Activation State and Photosynthesis in Maize
Ribulose–1,5–bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the rate–limiting enzyme for photosynthesis. Rubisco activase (RCA) can regulate the Rubisco activation state, influencing Rubisco activity and photosynthetic rate. We obtained transgenic maize
