Characterization and expression of Rubisco activase genes in Ipomoea batatas. [PDF]
Two-dimensional electrophoresis, coupled with MALDI-TOF-MS, was used to identify differentially expressed proteins between young and mature leaves of sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]. The results showed that there were 25 differential proteins between young and mature leaves. The Rubisco activase (RCA) that catalyzes the activation of Rubisco in

A guide to understanding and measuring photosynthetic induction: considerations and recommendations. [PDF]
Summary Photosynthetic induction is the leaf‐level process by which a plant assimilates CO2 from the atmosphere once exposed to a change in light intensity after a period of darkness or shade. In the field, photosynthetic induction can take place hundreds of times in a single day in response to rapid fluctuations in the light environment due to cloud ...

Rubisco evolution in C4 eudicots: an analysis of Amaranthaceae sensu lato [PDF]
BACKGROUND Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) catalyses the key reaction in the photosynthetic assimilation of CO₂. In C₄ plants CO₂ is supplied to Rubisco by an auxiliary CO₂-concentrating pathway that helps to maximize the ...

An isoleucine residue acts as a thermal and regulatory switch in wheat Rubisco activase.
The regulation of Rubisco, the gatekeeper of carbon fixation into the biosphere, by its molecular chaperone Rubisco activase (Rca) is essential for photosynthesis and plant growth.

Heat-induced changes in the abundance of wheat Rubisco activase isoforms.
The Triticum aestivum (wheat) genome encodes three isoforms of Rubisco activase (Rca) differing in thermostability, which could be exploited to improve the resilience of this crop to global warming.

On the physiological significance of alternative splicing events in higher plants [PDF]
Alternative splicing, which generates multiple transcripts from the same gene and potentially different protein isoforms, is a key posttranscriptional regulatory mechanism for expanding proteomic diversity and functional complexity in higher eukaryotes ...

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,

Rubisco Activase: Structure, Expression And Regulation Role [PDF]
Ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activase uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis to remove tight binding inhibitors from Rubisco, thus playing a key role in regulating photosynthesis in plants. Being one of the most common enzymes in the nature Rubisco activase activates Rubisco, which is the catalizator of the primary reaction of CO2

Apple (Malus domestica, Borkh.) is one of the four largest fruits in the world. Freezing damage during the flowering period of apples is one of the main factors leading to the reduction or even extinction of apple production.
