Rice MGD1‐Mediated Improvement of Photosynthesis and Crop Yield by Flexible Adaptation to Different Light Conditions

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible adaptation to different light intensities found in natural environments is crucial for efficient photosynthesis and yield production in crops. The ability to cope with suboptimal light conditions effectively and efficiently is clearly advantageous.

Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering of Microalgae for Sustainable Lipid and Terpenoid Production: An Updated Perspective

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are increasingly recognised as powerful platforms for the sustainable production of lipids and terpenoids, with expanding applications in the food, fuel and biomanufacturing industries. In this updated review, we consolidate and critically assess the most recent advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of key ...

Xanthophyll-cycle of ice algae on the sea ice bottom in Saroma Ko lagoon, Hokkaido, Japan [PDF]

, 2003
Using the ice algal community prevailing on the sea ice bottom in Saroma Ko lagoon, Hokkaido, Japan, the response of a photosynthetic system to exposure to light was investigated, focusing on xanthophylls-cycle features, diel changes of the pool size of ...

Photorespiration: metabolic pathways and their role in stress protection [PDF]

, 2000
Photorespiration results from the oxygenase reaction catalysed by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase. In this reaction glycollate-2-phosphate is produced and subsequently metabolized in the photorespiratory pathway to form the Calvin ...

Transgene‐Free, Gene‐Edited Cavendish Bananas (Musa acuminata, AAA)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global consumer acceptance of gene‐edited food crops is increasing with new breeding technologies that can modify the genome without foreign DNA integration. Here, we report an Agrobacterium‐based system for transgene‐free, gene editing of the banana cultivar, Cavendish.

A Chemical Probe for Increasing Leaf Tocopherol Levels by Coordinated Modulation of Biosynthesis, Competition and Storage

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to

Cold induces acute stress but heat is ultimately more deleterious for the reef-building coral Acropora yongei [PDF]

, 2012
Climate change driven increases in intensity and frequency of both hot and cold extreme events contribute to coral reef decline by causing widespread coral bleaching and mortality.

Response of Phytoplankton Photophysiology to Varying Environmental Conditions in the Sub-Antarctic and Polar Frontal Zone [PDF]

, 2013
Climate-driven changes are expected to alter the hydrography of the Sub-Antarctic Zone (SAZ) and Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ) south of Australia, in which distinct regional environments are believed to be responsible for the differences in phytoplankton ...

Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

AtPHT4;4 is a chloroplast-localized ascorbate transporter in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2015
Ascorbate is an antioxidant and coenzyme for various metabolic reactions in vivo. In plant chloroplasts, high ascorbate levels are required to overcome photoinhibition caused by strong light.
