The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however,
must compete for nitrogen in the soil with abiotic and biotic processes such as erosion …

Cyanobacteria are one of the most diverse groups of gram-negative photosynthetic
prokaryotes. Many of them are able to produce a wide range of toxic secondary metabolites …

AGPase, ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase GS, glutamine synthetase GOGAT, glutamate:
oxoglutarate amino transferase NADP‐ICDH, NADP‐dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase …

PEPC [PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) carboxylase] is a tightly controlled enzyme located at
the core of plant C-metabolism that catalyses the irreversible β-carboxylation of PEP to form …

Incidence of natural light stress renders it important to enhance our understanding of the
mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from harmful effects of UV-B irradiation, as …

Because of ever‐increasing environmental deterioration it is likely that the influx of UV‐B
radiation (280–320 nm) will increase as a result of the depletion of stratospheric ozone …

A key concept underpinning current understanding of the carbon/nitrogen (C/N) interaction
in plants is that the capacity for N assimilation is aligned to nutrient availability and …

Fe excess is believed to generate oxidative stress. To contribute to the understanding of Fe
metabolism, Fe excess was induced in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia grown in hydroponic …

The regulation of light harvesting in higher plant photosynthesis, defined as stress-
dependent modulation of the ratio of energy transfer to the reaction centers versus heat …

Cyanobacterial toxins have been shown to have adverse effects on mammals, birds and fish
and are therefore being increasingly recognised as a potent stress and health hazard factor …
