Integrated flux and pool size analysis in plant central metabolism reveals unique roles of glycine and serine during photorespiration
Photorespiration is an essential process juxtaposed between plant carbon and nitrogen metabolism that responds to dynamic environments....
-
Starch serves as an overflow product in the regulation of carbon allocation in strawberry leaves in response to photosynthetic activity
The carbon allocation in source leaves between sucrose and starch is an important mechanism that affects plant productivity. We previously found that...

Enhanced Lipid Productivity in Low-Starch Mutant of Monoraphidium sp. for Biodiesel Production
Starch and lipids are two major carbon storage compounds in algal cells. Theoretically, switching the carbon flow from starch to lipid synthesis may...
-
Carbon flux through photosynthesis and central carbon metabolism show distinct patterns between algae, C3 and C4 plants
Photosynthesis-related pathways are regarded as a promising avenue for crop improvement. Whilst empirical studies have shown that photosynthetic...
