Abstract Background The development and physiology of plants are influenced by light intensity its changes. Despite the significance this phenomenon, there is a lack understanding regarding processes regulates. This partly due to complexity plant’s responses, but also limited availability setups capable producing specific patterns. Results While unraveling complexities plant responses will require further studies, research proposes simple method implement dynamic setups. In study, we...
Theoretically, the PEP-CK C
Summary Woody plants display some photosynthetic activity in stems, but the biological role of stem photosynthesis and specific contributions bark wood to carbon uptake oxygen evolution remain poorly understood. We aimed elucidate functional characteristics chloroplasts stems different ages Fraxinus ornus . Our investigation employed diverse experimental approaches, including microsensor technology assess production rates whole stem, bark, separately. Additionally, we utilized fluorescence...
ABSTRACT The Brassiceae tribe encompasses many economically important crops and exhibits high intraspecific interspecific phenotypic variation. After a shared whole-genome triplication (WGT) event ( Br-α , ∼15.9 million years ago), different lineages species underwent differential chromosomal rearrangements (diploidization) leading to diverse patterns of gene retention loss (fractionation). Lineage diversification genomic changes contributed an array divergence in morphology, biochemistry,...
Abstract Background and Aims The Brassiceae tribe encompasses many economically important crops exhibits high intra- interspecific phenotypic variation. After a shared whole-genome triplication (WGT) event (Br-α, ~15.9 Mya), differential lineage diversification genomic changes contributed to an array of divergence in morphology, biochemistry physiology underlying photosynthesis-related traits. Here, the C3 species Hirschfeldia incana is studied because it displays photosynthetic rates...
Abstract The Green Revolution has resulted in major improvements crop productivity, but left photosynthesis largely unimproved. Despite ample variation of photosynthetic performance crops and their wild relatives, the capacity elite breeding lines remains well below its theoretical maximum. As yield is often primary selective trait, current plant approaches result trade-offs that prevent positive selection for itself. Currently, genetic seldomly validated at level, as a these remain poorly...
In nature, light is never constant, while in the controlled environments used for vertical farming, vitro propagation, or plant production scientific research, intensity often kept constant during photoperiod. To investigate effects on growth of varying irradiance photoperiod, we grew Arabidopsis thaliana under three profiles: a square-wave profile, parabolic profile with gradually increasing and subsequently decreasing irradiance, regime comprised rapid fluctuations irradiance. The daily...
Simazine is an herbicide that able to contaminate surface waters, ground and milk/dairy products, thus posing concerns in both environmental health food safety. A yeast-based bioprobe was utilized detect simazine spiked real samples of livestock drinking water raw cow's milk. Yeast aerobic respiration taken as short-term toxicological endpoint. We carried out comparative measures yeast oxygen consumption between simazine-spiked blank samples. Percentage interference (%ρ) on calculated...
