As one of the iconic pathways in plant metabolism, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is
commonly thought to not only be responsible for the oxidization of respiratory substrate to …

Legumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in
macro‐and micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers and polyunsaturated fatty acids …

An approach to improving radiation use efficiency (RUE) in wheat is to screen for variability
in rates of leaf respiration in darkness (R dark). We used a high-throughput system to …

In recent years, multiple advances have been made in understanding the photosynthetic
machinery in model organisms. Knowledge transfer to horticultural important fruit crops is …

Despite recent advances in crop metabolomics, the genetic control and molecular basis of
the wheat kernel metabolome at different developmental stages remain largely unknown …

Respiration is as central to plant metabolism as photosynthesis; it is the main source of ATP,
reducing equivalents and biosynthetic intermediates in nongreen tissues and in green …

Our understanding of plant biology has been revolutionized by modern genetics and
biochemistry. However, biochemical genetics can be traced back to the foundation of …

Biodiversity plays important roles in ecosystem functions and genetic diversity is a key
component of biodiversity. While effects of genetic diversity on ecosystem functions have …

This study investigates the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms underlying copper
tolerance in Mimulus guttatus. I focused on the role of multi-copper oxidases (MCOs) …
