Our most productive crops and native vegetation use a modified version of photosynthesis
known as the C4 pathway. Leaves of C4 crops have increased nitrogen and water use …

NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) is a widely distributed enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative
decarboxylation of L-malate. Photosynthetic NADP-MEs are found in C4 bundle sheath …

Using an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system, we have introduced the intact
gene of maize phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), which catalyzes the initial …

Of 17 genes annotated in the Arabidopsis genome database as cinnamyl alcohol
dehydrogenase (CAD) homologues, an in silico analysis revealed that 8 genes were …

Covering: up to 2008 This comprehensive review describes the current status and
knowledge of biochemical and molecular processes involved in allyl/propenyl phenol …

Malate is involved in various metabolic pathways, and there are several enzymes that
metabolize it. One important malate metabolizing enzyme is NADP-malic enzyme (NADP …

Abstract NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME, EC 1.1. 1.40) functions in many different pathways
in plants, and has recently been implicated in plant defense such as in responses to …

The intracellular pathogenesis‐related (PR) proteins of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris
L.) are encoded by a highly polymorphic family of at least 20 genes. One member, the …

The photosynthetic characteristics of four transgenic rice lines over-expressing rice NADP-
malic enzyme (ME), and maize phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PC), pyruvate …

Transgenic rice plants overexpressing maize C 4-specific phosphoenolpyruvate
carboxylase (PEPC) exhibit a higher photosynthetic rate (up to 30%) and a more reduced O …
