- C2 photosynthesis reduces photorespiratory carbon loss by shuttling glycine from mesophyll (M) to bundle sheath (BS) tissues, where glycine decarboxylase (GDC) releases CO2 that accumulates around r...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Premise Pinguicula are carnivorous plants occupying a wide range of habitats, from wetlands to barren rock cliffs, where CAM photosynthesis was recently discovered in several species. This ecological ...

Saplings of Calophyllum longifolium showed that neither elevated carbohydrate levels nor stem photosynthesis influenced drought survival, indicating that c

Engineering rice to increase carbon capture efficiency requires fine-tuning enzyme regulation in addition to boosting the amount.

Abstract. Enzymes are adapted to perform optimally in different thermal regimes that would otherwise alter kinetics and stability. Whether adaptive evoluti

Leaf anatomy and biochemistry of C3, C2, and C4 plants.

In plants, the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco is hexadecameric, with each mature holoenzyme containing eight small subunits (SSus). Many plants express ...

Leaf dark respiration varies over diel cycle and reflects coordinated metabolic shifts, making daytime dark-adapted measurements poor proxies for true nigh

The government’s plans to poach 100 US researchers might make good economic sense. But what about the existing community?

AbstractBackground and Aims. As winter and spring temperatures continue to increase, the timing of flowering and leaf-out is advancing in many seasonally c

<p>The ASN Student Research Awards support research by student members that advances the goals of the society: the conceptual unification of ecology, evolution, and behavior. Each award consists of a ...

This review explores plasmodesmata-mediated cell-to-cell connectivity as a key target for crop improvement. We list gene targets and propose genetic strate

Abstract. What does “systematic biology” mean today, where has it been in the past, and where is it going? We explore these questions by considering five e
