Journal ArticleDOI
Ascorbate metabolism in potato leaves supplied with exogenous ascorbate.
TL;DR: Photosynthesis and leaf ascorbate were measured in potato plants grown in low light and then transferred to high light, suggesting that uptake of exogenous asCorbate leads to inhibition of de novo ascorBate biosynthesis in potato leaf discs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of sucrose-phosphate synthase in tomato plants grown with CO2 enrichment leads to decreased foliar carbohydrate accumulation relative to untransformed controls
Erik H. Murchie,Catherine Sarrobert,Pascale Contard,Thomas Betsche,Christine H. Foyer,Nathalie Galtier +5 more
TL;DR: Starch accumulation was dramatically increased in all plants subjected to CO 2 enrichment but the CO 2 -dependent increase in foliar starch accumulation was much lower in the leaves of the SPS transformants than in those of the untransformed controls in the same conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phyB-dependent induction of HY5 promotes iron uptake by systemically activating FER expression
Zhixin Guo,Jin Xu,Yu Wang,Chaoyi Hu,Kai Shi,Jie Zhou,Xiao-Jian Xia,Yan-Hong Zhou,Christine H. Foyer,Jing-Quan Yu +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that light‐induced Fe uptake in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is largely dependent on phytochrome B (phyB), which demonstrates that Fe uptake is systemically regulated by light in a phyB‐HY5‐FER‐dependent manner.
Journal Article
Genetically modified maize: adoption practices of small-scale farmers in South Africa and implications for resource poor farmers on the continent.

Journal ArticleDOI
Redox homeostasis: Opening up ascorbate transport.
TL;DR: Identification of a transporter bridging the chloroplast envelope membranes that separate cell cytoplasm from chloroplasts reveals a connection between ascorbate transport and cellular redox homeostasis.
