Plants must achieve a balance between carbon assimilation, storage and growth, but little is
known about how this is achieved. We describe evidence for the existence of regulatory …

Plants alternate between a net surplus of carbon in the light and a net deficit at night. This is
buffered by accumulating starch in the light and degrading it at night. Enough starch is …

Arabidopsis seedlings were subjected to 2 days of carbon starvation, and then resupplied
with 15 mm sucrose. The transcriptional and metabolic response was analyzed using ATH1 …

Protoporphyrin IX is the last common intermediate between the heme and chlorophyll
biosynthesis pathways. The addition of magnesium directs this molecule toward chlorophyll …

ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) is the rate-limiting step in seed starch biosynthesis.
Expression of an altered maize AGP large subunit (Sh2r6hs) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) …

The application of nitrogen-containing fertilisers is one approach used to increase growth
rates and productivity of forest tree plantations. However, the effects of nitrogen fertilisation …

Girdling has been suggested as a way to improve earliness and intensity of flowering in
mango (Mangifer indica L.). However, the accumulation of carbohydrates associated with …

Mustard is an important oilseed crop of the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.
The languid production of oilseeds has converged the attention of agricultural scientists to …

Shifts across environments in patterns of trait integration may govern or alter adaptive
responses. Changes in resource supply rates may be an especially important cause of …

The potential role of foliar carbon export features in the acclimation of photosynthetic
capacity to differences and changes in light environment was evaluated. These features …
