Plant Carbonic Anhydrases, their Role in Stress Defense and Possible Practical Use [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2018
The review presents data on the distribution of carbonic anhydrases in photosynthetic organisms and their location in cellular compartments. The functions of carbonic anhydrases to provide a high photosynthesis rate as well as their participation in ...

Ultrastructural changes in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells of chlorotic and prematurely yellowed leaves of Betula pendula Rothr

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
The ultrastructure of chloroplasts was studied in mesophyll cells of the leaves of silver birch (Betula pendula) showing interveinal chlorosis or premature yellowing, in comparison with leaves without symptoms or exhibiting symptoms of natural senescence.

Thermoluminescence in Chloroplast Thylakoid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Luminescence occurs in almost all the materials absorbing photon energy and is a phenomenon of light emitting process. There are various types of luminescence, e.g. fluorescence, phosphorescence, delayed luminescence, chemiluminescence and thermoluminescence.

Disruption of starch biosynthesis and triacylglycerol degradation impairs growth but improves photosynthesis in Arabidopsis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed model for altered carbon partitioning in wild‐type (a) and tgd1 sdp1 adg1‐1 Arabidopsis triple mutant (b). Summary Enhancing lipid accumulation by redirecting carbon from starch to triacylglycerol (TAG) in vegetative tissues is a promising strategy for developing high‐energy‐density crops for bioenergy production. However, our understanding of

Correlation between spatial (3D) structure of pea and bean thylakoid membranes and arrangement of chlorophyll-protein complexes

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background The thylakoid system in plant chloroplasts is organized into two distinct domains: grana arranged in stacks of appressed membranes and non-appressed membranes consisting of stroma thylakoids and margins of granal stacks.

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancient origin and recurrent evolution of desiccation tolerance in the green lineage. Summary Water is essential for life on Earth, yet some plants can survive the near‐complete loss of cellular water, a trait known as desiccation tolerance. Although rare in vegetative tissues of vascular plants, desiccation tolerance is scattered across the plant ...

The rotational model: a new hypothesis for thylakoid stacking

open access: yesInternational Journal of Plant Biology, 2016
The most enigmatic feature of mature thylakoids of Angiosperms is the presence of piles of membranous discs forming the cylindrical structures known as grana.

The cold case of state transition 7 (stt7) mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, solved by whole‐genome sequencing

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Long‐read whole‐genome sequencing revealed extensive chromosomal rearrangements and aneuploidy in a widely used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii stt7‐1 mutant. The STT7 gene (shown in red) was found to be split between two rearranged chromosomes, providing a molecular explanation for the long‐standing failure of this mutant in genetic crosses.

Transmission Electron Microscopy for Tobacco Chloroplast Ultrastructure

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
The chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis that enabled and sustains aerobic life on Earth. Chloroplasts are relatively large organelles with a diameter of ~5 μm and width of ~2.5 μm, and so can be readily analysed by electron microscopy.

Concurrent Measurement of O2 Production and Isoprene Emission During Photosynthesis: Pros, Cons and Metabolic Implications of Responses to Light, CO2 and Temperature

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional leaf gas exchange experiments have focused on net CO2 exchange (Anet). Here, using California poplar (Populus trichocarpa), we coupled measurements of net oxygen production (NOP), isoprene emissions and δ18O in O2 to traditional CO2/H2O gas exchange with chlorophyll fluorescence, and measured light, CO2 and temperature response ...
