Light-induced chloroplast movements in Oryza species
Light-induced chloroplast movements control efficient light utilization in leaves, and thus, are essential for leaf photosynthesis and biomass production under fluctuating light conditions. Chloroplast movemen...

Open AccessPalisade cell shape affects the light-induced chloroplast movements and leaf photosynthesis
Leaf photosynthesis is regulated by multiple factors that help the plant to adapt to fluctuating light conditions. Leaves of sun-light-grown plants are thicker and contain more columnar palisade cells than tho...

Functional characterization of blue-light-induced responses and PHOTOTROPIN 1 gene in Welwitschia mirabilis
The blue light (BL) receptor phototropin (phot) is specifically found in green plants; it regulates various BL-induced responses such as phototropism, chloroplast movement, stomatal opening, and leaf flattenin...

A qualitative analysis of the regulation of cyclic electron flow around photosystem I from the post-illumination chlorophyll fluorescence transient in Arabidopsis: a new platform for the in vivo investigation of the chloroplast redox state
A transient in chlorophyll fluorescence after cessation of actinic light illumination, which has been ascribed to electron donation from stromal reductants to plastoquinone (PQ) by the NAD(P)H-dehydrogenase (N...

Safety of Fettweis squatting position in congenital dislocation of the hip: Experimental study of prevention of deformity of the femoral head and neck in pigs
The safety of the Fettweis squatting position for immobilization after reduction in congenital dislocation of the hip was evaluated in an experimental model in pigs. In seven neonatal pigs, the hips were fixed...

Depressor effects and pharmacokinetics of single and consecutive doses of delapril in hypertensive patients with normal or impaired renal function
The antihypertensive effects and pharmacokinetic properties of delapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, were investigated in hypertensive patients with normal renal function (NRF; n=6) and i...
