Photosynthesis in crops and natural vegetation allows light energy to be converted into chemical energy and thus forms the foundation for almost all terrestrial trophic networks on Earth.The efficiency of photosynthet...
The photorespiratory pathway or photorespiration is an essential process in oxygenic photosynthetic or- ganisms, which can reduce the efficiency of photosynthetic carbon assimilation and is hence frequently considered...
The mechanism by which the mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway contributes to photosystem II (PSII) photoprotection is in dispute. It was generally thought that the AOX pathway protects photosystems by...
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) operates as a signaling molecule in eukaryotes, but the specificity of its signal- ing capacities remains largely unrevealed. Here, we analyzed whether a moderate production of H2O2 from two...
Although a considerable increase in our knowledge concerning the importance of metabolic adjustments to unfavorable growth conditions has been recently provided, relatively little is known about the adjustments which ...
Transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants were generated expressing a fragment of the mitochon- drial NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase gene (SIIDH1) in the antisense orientation. The transgenic plants ...
Plant respiration is characterized by two pathways for electron transfer to O2, namely the cytochrome pathway (CP) that is linked to ATP production, and the alternative pathway (AP), where electrons from ubiquinol...
