Optimizing photosynthetic light-harvesting under stars: simple and general antenna models.

Samir Chitnavis et al explore how photosynthetic antenna structures may evolve under different stars.

Read their work published in Photosynthesis Research.

In the next 10–20 years, several observatories will aim to detect the signatures of oxygenic photosynthesis on exoplanets, though targets must be carefully selected. Most known potentially habitable exo-planets orbit cool M-dwarf stars, which have limited emission in the photosynthetically active ...

Mitigation of drought stress in Zea mays L. through plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria assisted by foliar sorghum water extract.

Research from Raza Ullah et al. published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum.

Climate change is introducing several challenges to agriculture’s sustainability. The drought stress is hampering cereal crop productivity. There is an increasing interest in exploring how well physiological flexibility in plants can buffer drought stress. Our study investigated how plant growth-p...

Rasha Althiab-Almasaud et al review the key drivers and prospects for improving pollen viability, longevity, and function in angiosperms.

Published in Plant Reproduction.

Pollen grains are central to sexual plant reproduction and their viability and longevity/storage are critical for plant physiology, ecology, plant breeding, and many plant product industries. Our goal is to present progress in assessing pollen viability/longevity along with recent advances in our un...

Expression and function analyses of the MIKCC-type MADS-box genes in Akebia trifoliata (Lardizabalaceae) flower development.

Read this research from Shengfu Zhong et al. published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum.

The evolutionary origin and diversification of flowers in angiosperms remain one of the great unsolved mysteries in plants, while the molecular genetics of floral organ development are the crucial aspect of this question. Here, the expression patterns of all 25 MIKCC genes in various floral organs o...

Call for Papers 📢

The Journal of Plant Growth Regulation invites you to submit to a special issue "Microbe-Mediated Regulation of Plant Growth and Stress Physiology".

Edited by Abdul Latif Khan (University of Houston) & Axel Mithöfer (Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology).

Submission deadline 1 April 2024.

See the journal website for more information and how you can submit.

Non-pathogenic beneficial microbes are pivotal biological resources associated with plants across all different growth stages. They live with plants' above- (phyllosphere) or below-ground (rhizosphere) parts and as endophytes or epiphytes. Microbial symbionts support plant growth by nutrient mobiliz...

Cyclocarya paliurus leaves have abundant flavonoids, with red leaves having higher flavonoid content. Caowen Sun et al investigated how flavonoid biosynthesis is regulated for leaf coloring.

Published in Acta Physiologiae Plantarum.

Cyclocarya paliurus leaves contain abundant flavonoids with beneficial bioactivities and antioxidant activities. Red leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus have been considered to have higher flavonoids content, while the flavonoid derivatives accumulation pattern was still unclear. To uncover the flavonoids...

Taking a mass spec-based metabolite profiling approach, Noga Sikron-Persi et al reveal functional seasonal shifts in the metabolome of Zygophyllum dumosum Boiss and its relation to environmental conditions.

This work is published open access in Planta.

Main conclusion A multi-year study of perennial Z. dumosum shows a consistent seasonal pattern in the changes of petiole metabolism, involving mainly organic acids, polyols, phenylpropanoids, sulfate conjugates, and piperazines. Abstract GC–MS and UPLC–QTOF-MS-based metabolite profiling was perf...

Unlike light conditions commonly used in the lab, light intensity in real environments is dynamic. Here, presents a low-cost realistic noisy light system for studying photosynthesis.

Published in Photosynthesis Research.

Unlike the light conditions commonly used to grow photosynthetic organisms in the research laboratory, the light intensity in real environments is dynamic. A simple and low-cost system is described in which a commercial dimmable LED panel is controlled to simulate a sinusoidal function representing....
