Abstract Carotenoids are important isoprenoids produced in the plastids of photosynthetic organisms that play key roles photoprotection and antioxidative processes. β-Carotene is generated from lycopene by β-cyclase (LCYB). Previously, we demonstrated introduction Daucus carota (carrot) DcLCYB1 gene into tobacco (cv. Xanthi) resulted increased levels abscisic acid (ABA) especially gibberellins (GAs), resulting plant yield. In order to understand this phenomenon prior exporting genetic...
Abstract Understanding the regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting and electron transfer is great importance to efforts improve ability transport chain supply downstream metabolism. A central regulator ATP synthase, molecular motor that harnesses chemiosmotic potential generated from proton-coupled synthesize ATP. synthase regulated both thermodynamically post-translationally, with proposed phosphorylation sites on multiple subunits. In this study we focused two N-terminal serines...
