When predicting the effects of climate change, global carbon circulation models that include
a positive feedback effect of climate warming on the carbon cycle often assume that (1) plant …

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are traditionally considered to be autonomous organelles but
they are not as independent as they were once thought to be. Mitochondrial metabolism …

NaCl is the most abundant salt in salinity-affected land. The ability of plants to sift the water
table, limit NaCl uptake, compartmentalise Na+/Cl–ions and prevent negative ionic and …

▪ Abstract Chlororespiration has been defined as a respiratory electron transport chain (ETC)
in interaction with the photosynthetic ETC in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. The …

Transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants expressing a fragment of the Sl SDH2-2
gene encoding the iron sulfur subunit of the succinate dehydrogenase protein complex in …

Over the past 20 years, researchers investigating the mitochondria of plants have been
astonished by the phenomenal variation these organelles display relative to their …

In bright sunlight photosynthetic activity is limited by the enzymatic machinery of carbon
dioxide assimilation. This supererogation of energy can be easily visualized by the …

Plants grow using light energy to photosynthetically convert atmospheric CO2 into carbon-
rich compounds (eg carbohydrates) in the chloroplasts. These compounds are then respired …

The photosynthesis‐irradiance (PE) relationship links indices of phytoplankton biomass (eg
chl) to rates of primary production. The PE curve can be characterized by two variables: the …

We investigated the effect of temperature and irradiance on leaf respiration (R, non-
photorespiratory mitochondrial CO2 release) of snow gum (Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieb. ex …
