TL;DR: It is concluded that Rubisco activase plays an important role in the regulation of non-steady-state photosynthesis at any leaf temperature and, to a lesser extent, of steady-state photoynthesis at high temperature.

TL;DR: It is shown that rice (Oryza sativa L.) has a plant-type PEPC, Osppc4, that is targeted to the chloroplast, and the chloroplastic PEPC gene is identified in other Oryza species, which suggests that, in addition to glycolysis, the genus OryZA has a unique route to provide organic acids for ammonium assimilation that involves a chloropl Plastic PEPC.

TL;DR: The introduction of the small subunit (RbcS) of high kcat Rubisco from the C4 plant sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) significantly enhances kcat of Rubisco in transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) and partially acquires the catalytic properties of Sorghum Rubisco.

TL;DR: Analysis of the effects of repetitive illumination by short-pulse (SP) light of sunflower leaves on the photosynthetic electron flow found that repetitive illumination with SP light did not induce the oxidation of P700 in PSI, and mainly inactivated PSI.

TL;DR: Comparison of transformants overproducing different combinations of enzymes indicated that over production of PEPC together with ME was responsible for stunting, and that overproduction of MDH had some mitigating effects.
