Limitation of grain crop productivity by phosphorus (P) is widespread and will probably
increase in the future. Enhanced P efficiency can be achieved by improved uptake of …

Purine and pyrimidine nucleotides participate in many biochemical processes in plants.
They are building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis, an energy source, precursors for the …

Publisher Summary This chapter highlights tobacco BY-2 (TBY-2) cell line. TBY-2 derived
from the seedlings of N. tabacum L. cv. Bright Yellow 2 grows fast and multiplies 80-to 100 …

Plant vacuoles serve as the primary intracellular compartments for inorganic phosphate (Pi)
storage. Passage of Pi across vacuolar membranes plays a critical role in buffering the …

Interference of arsenate and vanadate with phosphate uptake in Lemna gibba L. was
studied by measuring voltage changes and (32P) phosphate uptake. Arsenate proved to be …

During photosynthesis, plants fix CO2 from the atmosphere onto ribulose-bisphosphate,
producing 3-phosphoglycerate, which is reduced to triose phosphates (TPs). The TPs are …

Photosynthesis, assimilate partitioning and intracellular distribution of orthophosphate (Pi) in
barly (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves were measured in plants grown with either 25, 1 or 0 …

The occurrence of O2-insensitive photosynthesis at high quantum flux and moderate
temperature in Spinacia oleracea was characterized by analytical gas exchange …

The central vacuole is the largest compartment of a mature plant cell and may occupy more
than 80% of the total cell volume. However, recent results indicate that beside the large …

Abstract Orthophosphate (H2PO4−, Pi) is an essential macronutrient integral to energy
metabolism as well as a component of membrane lipids, nucleic acids, including ribosomal …
