Electron Microscopy Views of Dimorphic Chloroplasts in C4 Plants
C4 plants enhance photosynthesis efficiency by concentrating CO2 to the site of Rubisco action. Chloroplasts in C4 plants exhibit structural dimorphism because thylakoid architectures vary depending on energy requirements. Advances in electron microscopy

Daily Heat Stress Induces Donor-Side Limitation of PSI Via Downregulation of the Cyt b<sub>6</sub>f Complex. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The rapidly warming climate is driving increasingly frequent and intense heat waves worldwide, posing major challenges to plant metabolism and growth. Despite the central role of photosynthesis in plant growth, the effects of prolonged heat stress on the primary reactions of photosynthesis remain poorly understood.

Artificial Cell Catalysts for Biotransformation: Design Principles and Process Integration
ABSTRACT Artificial cell catalysts are emerging as programmable biocatalytic platforms for sustainable molecular conversion. By reconstituting enzymes and functional modules within synthetic compartments, they combine the selectivity of biological catalysis with the design flexibility of synthetic materials.

Exogenously-supplied trehalose protects thylakoid membranes of winter wheat from heat-induced damage
The effects of trehalose pretreatment on thylakoid membranes of winter wheat were investigated under heat stress. Under normal growth conditions, the winter wheat synthesized 502 μg g-1(f.m.) trehalose, which increased to 1250 μg g-1(f.m.) under heat ...

Probing the biogenesis pathway and dynamics of thylakoid membranes [PDF]
How thylakoid membranes are generated to form the metabolically active membrane network and how thylakoid membranes orchestrate the insertion and localization of protein complexes for efficient electron flux remain elusive.

Assessing plant water status: Part 1 – Classical methods
Abstract As a result of the changing climate, water scarcity poses a significant threat to crop and pasture production. Although soil water content can indicate drought, its measurements often provide limited spatial resolution and are weakly correlated with plant water status, producing misleading drought assessments.

Chloroplast PetD protein: evidence for SRP/Alb3-dependent insertion into the thylakoid membrane
Background In thylakoid membrane, each monomer of the dimeric complex of cytochrome b 6 f is comprised of eight subunits that are both nucleus- and plastid-encoded. Proper cytochrome b 6 f complex integration into the thylakoid membrane requires numerous

Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) has been demonstrated to be an important element to enhance crop tolerance against salinity. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying Si's mitigation of salt stress remains insufficiently explored and understood. This study aims to provide new insights into Si's impact on salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.) supplied or not ...

Chloroplast thylakoid membrane-stabilised emulsions.
BACKGROUND: Thylakoid-stabilised emulsions have been reported to possess satiety-promoting effects and inhibit pancreatic lipase-colipase activity in vitro, which prompted the investigation of their interfacial properties.RESULTS: Thylakoid membranes ...
