Stable transformation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) via microprojectile bombardment of highly regenerative, green tissues derived from mature seed
A highly efficient and reproducible transformation system for rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Taipei 309) was developed using microprojectile bombardment of highly regenerative, green tissues. These tissues were induce...

Inheritance of tissue-specific expression of barley hordein promoter-uidA fusions in transgenic barley plants
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) hordeins are alcohol-soluble redundant storage proteins that accumulate in protein bodies of the starchy endosperm during seed development. Strong endosperm-specific β-glucuronidase g...

Environmental Applications of Xanes: Speciation of Tc In Cement After Chemical Treatment and Se After Bacterial Uptake
XANES (X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy) has been employed to evaluate the efficacy of a process designed to encapsulate and reduce TcO4- in cement matrices, thereby immobilizing Tc. The oxidation state of...

Identification of two forms of PFK and a fructose-2,6-bisphosphate independent form of PFP in a green alga
Cell-free preparations from the green alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, contained two forms of phosphofructokinase (PFK), designated PFK I and PFK II. This represents the first evidence for a second form of PFK in gre...

Ferredoxin-Thioredoxin Reductase: An Iron-Sulfur Enzyme Linking Light to Enzyme Regulation in Chloroplasts
The ferredoxin/thioredoxin system functions in oxygenic photosynthesis by linking light to the regulation of selected target enzymes (1). Here, the light signal is converted to reduced thioredoxin by way of fe...

Studies on Enzyme Photoactivation by the Ferredoxin/Thioredoxin System
The ferredoxin/thioredoxin system functions in oxygenic photosynthesis by linking light to the regulation of selected target enzymes Fig. 1 (1).

Chapter
The Ferredoxin/Thioredoxin System from the Green Alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardii
Efficient utilization of light energy by plants involves the coordination of overall metabolism with the light environment. One of the ways in which plants couple light to metabolism is via the ferredoxin-thio...

The Regulation of Enzymes of Sucrose Metabolism in Plant Sinks
The regulation of sucrose breakdown and synthesis and the partitioning of carbon in sink tissues is not well understood. We present here a summary of what has been learned about these processes in both source ...

Contrasting modes of photosynthetic enzyme regulation in oxygenic and anoxygenic prokaryotes
Enzymes that are regulated by the ferredoxin/thioredoxin system in chloroplasts — fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase purified from two different types of photosynthetic prok...

Role of the Ferredoxin/Thioredoxin System in the Regulation of Photosynthetic Enzymes in a Cyanobacterium
Components of the ferredoxin/thioredoxin system have been identified in cyanobacteria (Schmidt, 1980; Yee et al., 1981). The system was similar to that from higher plants in that it activated thioredoxin-linke...

Chapter
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and C4 Plants
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) is a regulatory metabolite that functions in determining the route of cytosolic carbon processing in plant cells—i.e., whether sucrose, the most important plant sugar, is sy...

Chapter
Developmental Studies on Plant Thioredoxin Systems
Thioredoxins are low molecular weight disulfide proteins that participate in a variety of cellular oxidoreduction reactions. Thioredoxins are reduced enzymically with either NADPH or reduced ferredoxin. An NAD...

The ferredoxin/thioredoxin system of enzyme regulation in a cyanobacterium
Cell-free preparations of the cyanobacterium (bluegreen alga) Nostoc muscorum were assayed for thioredoxins and enzymes catalyzing the ferredoxin and NADP-linked reduction of thioredoxin. Nostoc was found to have...

Chapter
Ferredoxin-Linked Carbon Dioxide Fixation in Photosynthetic Bacteria
Over three decades ago, Lipmann (1946) suggested that the formation of pyruvate via a reductive carboxylation of what is now known as acetyl coenzyme A would be an ideal reaction for the fixation of carbon dioxid...

Mechanisms of CO2 fixation in bacterial photosynthesis studied by the carbon isotope fractionation technique
1. The carbon isotope discrimination properties of a representative of each of the three types of photosynthetic bacteria Chlorobium thiosulfatophilum, Rhodospirillum rubrum and Chromatium and of the C3-alga Chla...

Role of Cyclic Photophosphorylation in Photosynthetic Carbon Dioxide Assimilation by Isolated Chloroplasts
Although the physiological nature of cyclic photophosphorylation is now well documented (MACLACHLAN & PORTER 1959, FORTI & PARISI 1963, URBACH & SIMONIS 1964, WIESSNER & GAFFRON 1964, TANNER et al. 1965, 1966,...
