Organic acids are synthesized in plants as a result of the incomplete oxidation of
photosynthetic products and represent the stored pools of fixed carbon accumulated due to …

Organic acids play a crucial role in numerous metabolic processes accompanied by transfer
of electrons and protons and linked to the reduction/oxidation of major redox couples in …

Background Calcium ions, the most versatile secondary messenger found in plants, are
involved in the regulation of diverse arrays of plant growth and development, as well as …

The expression of genes encoding various enzymes participating in photosynthetic and
respiratory metabolism is regulated by light via the phytochrome system. While many …

Thioredoxins (TRXs) are ubiquitous proteins engaged in the redox regulation of plant
metabolism. Whilst the light-dependent TRX-mediated activation of Calvin–Benson cycle …

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, isoenzyme pattern, and expression of two genes
encoding subunit A and of three genes encoding subunit B have been investigated in the …

Abstract Aconitase (EC 4.2. 1.3) catalyzes the reversible interconversion of citrate, cis-
aconitate, and d-isocitrate. It operates in mitochondria and cytosol. We investigated the …

Inhibition of fumarase activity in the light has been studied in Arabidopsis in relation to the
involvement of phytochrome. Using knockout phytochrome mutants, we observed that the …

Leaf respiration in the dark (Rdark) is often measured at a single time during the day, with
hot‐acclimation lowering Rdark at a common measuring temperature. However, it is unclear …

The involvement of the microRNA miR165a in the light-dependent mechanisms of regulation
of target genes in maize (Zea mays) has been studied. The light-induced change in the …
