A number of recent studies have provided strong support demonstrating that improving the
photosynthetic processes through genetic engineering can provide an avenue to improve …

C4 photosynthesis is a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications that concentrate
CO2 around the carboxylating enzyme Rubisco, thereby increasing photosynthetic efficiency …

Mitochondria host vital cellular functions, including oxidative phosphorylation and co‐factor
biosynthesis, which are reflected in their proteome. At the cellular level plant mitochondria …

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are traditionally considered to be autonomous organelles but
they are not as independent as they were once thought to be. Mitochondrial metabolism …

Photorespiration is frequently considered a wasteful and inefficient process. However,
mutant analysis demonstrated that photorespiration is essential for recycling of 2 …

Photorespiration is initiated by the oxygenase activity of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate-
carboxylase/oxygenase (RUBISCO), the same enzyme that is also responsible for CO 2 …

▪ Abstract The efficiency of photosynthetic carbon assimilation in higher plants faces
significant limitations due to the oxygenase activity of the enzyme Rubisco, particularly …

C4 photosynthesis represents a most remarkable case of convergent evolution of a complex
trait, which includes the reprogramming of the expression patterns of thousands of genes …

Alternative splicing (AS) diversifies transcriptomes and proteomes and is widely recognized
as a key mechanism for regulating gene expression. Previously, in an analysis of intron …

Serine metabolism in plants has been studied mostly in relation to photorespiration where
serine is formed from two molecules of glycine. However, two other pathways of serine …
