The mesophyll anatomy enhancing CO2 diffusion is a key trait for improving rice photosynthesis.
Increases in rates of individual leaf photosynthesis (P(n)) are critical for future increases in yields of rice plants. Although many efforts have been made to improve rice P(n) with transgenic technology, the desired increases in P(n) have not yet been achieved. Two rice lines with extremely high values of P(n) were identified among the backcrossed inbred lines derived from the indica variety ...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis
Photosynthesis sustains virtually all life on planet Earth providing the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat; it forms the basis of global food chains and meets the majority of humankind's current energy needs through fossilized photosynthetic fuels. The process of photosynthesis in plants is based on two reactions that are carried out by separate parts of the chloroplast. The light reactions...
متن کاملTopical Reviews on Photosynthesis Improvement Improving Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the basis of plant growth, and improving photosynthesis can contribute toward greater food security in the coming decades as world population increases. Multiple targets have been identified that could be manipulated to increase crop photosynthesis. The most important target is Rubisco because it catalyses both carboxylation and oxygenation reactions and the majority of respon...

The question then is how the same neurons convey two different sorts of information. The answer is that motor giants are capable of generating two types of action potentials, small/slow calcium spikes and large/fast sodium spikes, depending on the degree of depolarization it receives. As opposed to the input from the ring giant, the input from the pacemaker is too low to trigger the sodium spik...
متن کاملUncouplers stimulate photosynthesis in intact chloroplasts by enhancing light-activation of enzymes regulated by the ferredoxin-thioredoxin system.
Some uncouplers stimulate CO(2)-dependent O(2) evolution by intact spinach chloroplasts at pH 8.6. This effect is not due to alkalinization of the stroma. The stimulation is observed only when photosynthesis has been partly inhibited by the presence of H(2)O(2), generated in a Mehler-type reaction by the broken chloroplasts which always contaminate the intact chloroplast preparations. The addit...
