Different roles of alpha- and beta-branch xanthophylls inphotosystem assembly and photoprotection [PDF]
Xanthophylls (oxygenated carotenoids) are essential components of the plant photosynthetic apparatus, where they act in photosystem assembly, light harvesting and photoprotection.

Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). As a result, millions of people in this region suffer from one or more nutrient deficiencies that commonly lead to malnutrition ...

Study of factors controlling the photoprotection capacity of the thylakoid membrane [PDF]
PhDPlants require light for the process of photosynthesis, but excess of light absorption can cause photooxidative damage. To avoid this damage, plants have evolved a photoprotective mechanism to dissipate excess light energy as heat in a process ...

Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

ABSTRACT Improving photosynthesis is proposed as a means of enhancing crop productivity. To assess whether simultaneous increases in light use‐efficiency and carbon assimilation are additive, we investigated the impact of elevated CO2 on the performance of a transgenic soybean line engineered for faster relaxation of photoprotection by overexpression ...

The Site of Absorption of Xanthophylls and Factors Affecting Pigmentation of Chickens, Egg Yolks, and Products Made From Egg Yolks [PDF]
A total of four experiments were conducted to determine the location of the site of absorption of xanthophylls, to determine the relationship of egg yolk color produced by various feed xanthophylls to the color of mayonnaise, and to study the effect of ...
