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 …

Photorespiration has been considered a 'futile'cycle in C3 plants, necessary to detoxify and
recycle the metabolites generated by the oxygenating activity of Rubisco. However, several …

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 …

Every plant organ contains tens of different cell types, each with a specialized function.
These functions are intrinsically associated with specific metabolic flux distributions that …

In the respiratory chain of the majority of aerobic organisms, the enzyme alternative oxidase
(AOX) functions as the terminal oxidase and has important roles in maintaining metabolic …

Simple Summary Illumination is an important factor for plant life because light is the basis of
photosynthesis and productivity, the regulator of physiological processes, and a potential …

Summary Glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3. 1.2) is a key enzyme in higher plants with two
isozymes, cytosolic GS1 and plastidic GS2, and involves in the assimilation and recycling of …

In photosynthetically active cells, both chloroplasts and mitochondria have the capacity to
produce ATP via photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation, respectively. Thus …

Cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1) plays a central role in nitrogen (N) metabolism. The
importance of GS1 in N remobilization during reproductive growth has been reported in …

Over 17 million km2 of land is affected by soil flooding every year, resulting in substantial
yield losses and jeopardizing food security across the globe. A key step in resolving this …
