Photosynthesis is currently a focus for crop improvement. The majority of this work has taken
place and been assessed in leaves, and limited consideration has been given to the …

A review is presented under 2 main headings, nuclear regulation of plastid development
genes and mechanisms, and chloroplast control of nuclear gene expression, with special …

Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the
presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot …

Embryonic development in many angiosperms occurs concomitantly with the development
of the ovary into a specialized organ, the fruit, which provides a suitable environment for …

Modern tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) varieties are bred for uniform ripening (u) light
green fruit phenotypes to facilitate harvests of evenly ripened fruit. U encodes a Golden 2 …

Engineering improved Rubisco for the enhancement of photosynthesis is challenged by the
alternate locations of the chloroplast rbcL gene and nuclear RbcS genes. Here we develop …

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) catalyzes the first reaction in the biosynthesis from
phenylalanine of a wide variety of phenylpropanoid natural products including lignin …

Genomic sequences encoding five divergent 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)
synthase polypeptides (ACC1, ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, and ACC5) have been isolated from …

Abstract The Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia ubiquitin gene family consists of 14
members that can be divided into three types of ubiquitin genes; polyubiquitin genes …

To analyze the potential of the active oxygen‐scavenging system of chloroplasts, we
introduced Escherichia coli catalase into tobacco chloroplasts. Photosynthesis of transgenic …
