The relationship between phosphate status and photosynthesis in leaves: reversibility of the effects of phosphate deficiency on photosynthesis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there is an appreciable capacity for rapid Pi uptake by leaf mesophyll cells and that the effects of long-term phosphate deficiency on photosynthesis may be reversed (at least temporarily) within minutes by feeding with Pi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between the Efficiencies of Photosystems I and II and Stromal Redox State in CO2-Free Air Evidence for Cyclic Electron Flow in Vivo
TL;DR: It is concluded that, at the CO(2) compensation point and high irradiance, low redox states are favored and that cyclic electron flow may be substantial and that these two features may be the requirements necessary to trigger and maintain the dissipative processes in the thylakoid membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lack of Respiratory Chain Complex I Impairs Alternative Oxidase Engagement and Modulates Redox Signaling during Elicitor-Induced Cell Death in Tobacco
Guillaume Vidal,Miquel Ribas-Carbo,Marie Garmier,Guy Dubertret,Allan G. Rasmusson,Chantal Mathieu,Christine H. Foyer,Rosine De Paepe +7 more
TL;DR: Genetically programmed flexibility of plant respiratory routes and antioxidants in response to elicitors are demonstrated and sustained ATP production, rather than AOX activity by itself or mitochondrial ROS, might be important for in planta cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Salicylic Acid on Oxidative Stress and Thermotolerance in Tobacco
TL;DR: In this paper, Salicylic acid (SA) concentrations increased shoot glutathione reductase and dehydroascorbate reduction activity, although there was no significant effect on ascorbate peroxidase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of thiol contents in poplars (Populus tremula x P. alba) overexpressing enzymes involved in glutathione synthesis
TL;DR: Four transformed lines of poplar were obtained, and lines ggs28, ggs11 and ggs5 were shown to possess abundant quantities of the bacterial protein, whereas ggs17 contained lower amounts, and foliar γ-ECS activities were in quantitative agreement with the protein levels.
