Does C4 Photosynthesis Occur in Wheat Seeds?

Our recent report of new evidence for C4 photosynthesis in wheat seeds (Rangan et al., 2016) has been met with skepticism (Busch and Farquhar, 2016), maybe because this has been such a long-running controversy. Much of the confusion has been because early work did not distinguish photosynthesis in the pericarp of the seed (Fig. 1) from that in the covering glumes. Glumes, like leaves in wheat, ...

Symptomless Hyperpiesia in Dockyard Workers

made neurosis which thereafter effectively prevents them from working even if they are allowed to do so. Symptomless hyperpiesia as it occurs in working men at the age of 60 has been the subject of this small study. My object has been to try and show first whether hyperpietics, who are known to carry a short expectation of life,1 are particularly prone to chronic ill health or to die within a s...

Detection of RNA1 and RNA2 of Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus in winter wheat grown from infected seeds

A Polish isolate of Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV-Pol1) was characterized by limited pathogenicity and a low concentration of virus particles in infected plant tissues. The aim of this research was to consider the possibility of seed-transmission dissemination of the virus. Seeds of winter wheat cv. Muszelka served as material for the studies. Two methods were involved in the diagnostics...

Pathway of sugar transport in germinating wheat seeds.

Three homeologous genes encoding a sucrose (Suc) transporter (SUT) in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum), TaSUT1A, 1B, and 1D, were expressed in germinating seeds, where their function is unknown. All three TaSUT1 proteins were confirmed to be capable of transporting both Suc and maltose by complementation tests with the SUSY7/ura3 yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) mutant strain. The role of Su...
