TL;DR: Alternative, non-cyclic flux modes occur in leaves in the light, in some developing oilseeds, and under specific physiological circumstances such as anoxia.

TL;DR: Recent advances in carbon/nitrogen metabolisms as well as sensing and signaling systems in illuminated leaves of C3-plants are discussed and a perspective of the type of experiments that are now required in order to take understanding to a higher level is provided.

TL;DR: It is shown that the exosymbiont-derived ornithine-urea cycle, which is similar to that of metazoans but is absent in green algae and plants, facilitates rapid recovery from prolonged nitrogen limitation and represents a key pathway for anaplerotic carbon fixation into nitrogenous compounds that are essential for diatom growth and for the contribution of diatoms to marine productivity.

TL;DR: The role of nitrogen metabolism in the survival of prolonged periods of waterlogging was investigated in highly flood-tolerant, nodulated Lotus japonicus plants and alanine production revealed to be a critical hypoxic pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the responses of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants deficient in the expression of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase and 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenases to extended darkness and other environmental stresses.
