The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, harbours a relict plastid known as the
'apicoplast'. The discovery of the apicoplast ushered in an exciting new prospect for drug …

Historically speaking, Arabidopsis was not the plant of choice for investigating
photosynthesis, with physiologists and biochemists favouring other species such as …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Starch is the major non-structural carbohydrate in plants. It serves as an important store of
carbon that fuels plant metabolism and growth when they are unable to photosynthesise …

Low phosphate (Pi) availability decreases photosynthesis, with phosphate limitation of
photosynthesis occurring particularly during grain filling of cereal crops; however, effective …

An extensive analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana peripheral and integral thylakoid
membrane proteome was performed by sequential extractions with salt, detergent, and …

Plants have evolved strategies to tightly regulate metabolism during acclimation to a
changing environment. Low temperature significantly constrains distribution, growth and …

Starch is a primary product of photosynthesis in leaves. In most plants, a large fraction of the
carbon assimilated during the day is stored transiently in the chloroplast as starch for use …

Regulation of the expression of nuclear genes encoding chloroplast proteins allows for
metabolic adjustment in response to changing environmental conditions. This regulation is …

Transitory starch is stored during the day inside chloroplasts and broken down at night for
export. Maltose is the primary form of carbon export from chloroplasts at night. We …
