Recent developments in photorespiration research.
نویسنده
چکیده
Photorespiration is the light-dependent release of CO(2) initiated by Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) during oxygenic photosynthesis. It occurs during the biochemical reactions of the photorespiratory C(2) cycle, which is an ancillary metabolic process that allows photosynthesis to occur in oxygen-containing environments. Recent research has identified the genes for many plant photorespiratory enzymes, allowing precise functional analyses by reverse genetics. Similar studies with cyanobacteria disclosed the evolutionary origin of photorespiratory metabolism in these ancestors of plastids.

Plant peroxisomes respire in the light: some gaps of the photorespiratory C2 cycle have become filled--others remain.
The most prominent role of peroxisomes in photosynthetic plant tissues is their participation in photorespiration, a process also known as the oxidative C2 cycle or the oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle. Photorespiration is an essential process in land plants, as evident from the conditionally lethal phenotype of mutants deficient in enzymes or transport proteins involved in this pathway. T...

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Security Council's Dual Standards toward Recent Developments in Libya and Bahrain
With international peace and security covering a broader concept and restriction of governments' authority, issues such as human rights have become intertwined with international peace and security and are no longer an internal issue of governments. It is such that international society may react toward it and make some decisions. What seems important is how Security Council deals with such iss...
