Photosynthesis: Regulation by redox signalling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photosynthesis is light-driven redox chemistry. Molecular redox signalling, the coupling of gene expression to electron transfer, is now implicated in the adaptation of photosynthesis to variation in light quality and quantity.

Chloroplasts as source and target of cellular redox regulation: a discussion on chloroplast redox signals in the context of plant physiology.
During the evolution of plants, chloroplasts have lost the exclusive genetic control over redox regulation and antioxidant gene expression. Together with many other genes, all genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of low molecular weight antioxidants were transferred to the nucleus. On the other hand, photosynthesis bears a high risk for photo-oxidative dam...

Light is one of the most important environmental factors some cases, oxygen acts as a different environmental, light-independent stimulus of photosynthetic gene expression, providinfluencing gene expression in photosynthetic organisms. In particular, genes for components of the photosynthetic maing an additional redox signal and a different kind of redox control. In this review, we summarise pr...
متن کاملThe functions of WHIRLY1 and REDOX-RESPONSIVE TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 1 in cross tolerance responses in plants: a hypothesis.
Chloroplasts are important sensors of environment change, fulfilling key roles in the regulation of plant growth and development in relation to environmental cues. Photosynthesis produces a repertoire of reductive and oxidative (redox) signals that provide information to the nucleus facilitating appropriate acclimation to a changing light environment. Redox signals are also recognized by the ce...
متن کاملUpdate on Oxidative Stress and Photosynthesis Understanding Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Functions to Enhance Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a well-established source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants. The photosynthetic electron transport chain (PET) operates in an aerobic environment; thus, regulatory systems are required to minimize ROS production. Moreover, an efficient antioxidant network is also essential in order to process ROS effectively and to maintain intracellular ROS pools at low levels. The i...
متن کاملRegulation of calcium signalling and gene expression by glutathione.
The glutathione redox couple is an information-rich redox buffer that interacts with numerous cellular components. To explore the role of glutathione in redox signalling, leaf contents were increased either chemically, by feeding reduced glutathione (GSH), or genetically, by over-expressing the first enzyme of the GSH biosynthetic pathway, gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-ECS). Leaf dis...
