Evidence for a CO2‐concentrating mechanism in the model streptophyte green alga Chara braunii
Summary Oxygenic photosynthesis in streptophytic algae, such as Charophyceae, is often impeded by low CO2 levels in aquatic habitats. Consequently, many algal groups evolved a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). However, its presence in Charophyceae remains controversial.

Cloning and expression analysis of Rubisco activase genes in Carya cathayensis
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is a key enzyme involved in CO2 assimilation during photosynthesis. Rubisco activation depends on the activity of Rubisco activase (RCA). We performed 3′/5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)

Purification and Assay of Rubisco Activase from Leaves
Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) activase protein was purified from spinach leaves by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. This resulted in 48-fold purification with 70% recovery of activity and yielded up to 18 milligrams of rubisco activase protein from 100 grams of leaves. Based

Coordinate Expression of Rubisco Activase and Rubisco during Barley Leaf Cell Development [PDF]
We have utilized the cellular differentiation gradient and photomorphogenic responses of the first leaf of 7-day-old barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to examine the accumulation of mRNA and protein encoded by the ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase holoenzyme (rubisco) activase gene (rca).

Abstract Premise Adaptation to edaphic environments is vital for plant survival. The tribe Thelypodieae (Brassicaceae) thrives in diverse edaphic conditions, including harsh serpentine soils. A robust phylogeny is essential to understanding the edaphic evolution in this tribe but is challenging to obtain due to incomplete lineage sorting, hybridization,

Metabolic modeling identifies determinants of thermal growth responses in Arabidopsis thaliana
Summary Temperature is a critical environmental factor affecting nearly all plant processes, including growth, development, and yield. Yet, despite decades of research, we lack the ability to predict plant performance at different temperatures, limiting the development of climate‐resilient crops.

TGase positively regulates photosynthesis via activation of Calvin cycle enzymes in tomato
Transglutaminases (TGases), which are widespread cross-linking enzymes in plants, play key roles in photosynthesis and abiotic/biotic stress responses; however, evidence concerning the genetics underlying how TGase improves the capability of ...

Rubisco activation by wheat Rubisco activase isoform 2β is insensitive to inhibition by ADP [PDF]
Abstract Rubisco activase (Rca) is a catalytic chaperone that remodels the active site, promotes the release of inhibitors and restores catalytic competence to Rubisco. Rca activity and its consequent effect on Rubisco activation and photosynthesis are modulated by changes to the chloroplast environment induced by fluctuations in light ...
