Journal ArticleDOI
The diversity and coevolution of rubisco, plastids, pyrenoids, and chloroplast-based co2-concentrating mechanisms in algae
Murray R. Badger,T. John Andrews,Spencer M. Whitney,Martha Ludwig,David Yellowlees,William Leggat,G. Dean Price +6 more
TL;DR: This review examines the potential diversity of both Rubisco and chloroplast-based CCMs across algal divisions, including both green and nongreen algae, and seeks to highlight recent advances in the understanding of the area and future areas for research.
Journal ArticleDOI
The functioning of the CO2 concentrating mechanism in several cyanobacterial strains: a review of general physiological characteristics, genes, proteins, and recent advances
TL;DR: Comparative aspects of physiology, genetics, and proteins involved in the cyanobacterial CCM with particular focus on recent advances are covered, namely Synechocystis PCC6803 (freshwater strain; for which a full genome database is now available),Synechococcus PCC7002 (coastal marine st...
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Carbonic Anhydrases: Structures, Locations, Evolution, and Physiological Roles
TL;DR: The number and types of CAs in C3, C4, and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants are considered, and the roles of the α and γCAs are briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of leaf dry mass per area, CO2, and irradiance on mesophyll conductance in sclerophylls
Foteini Hassiotou,Martha Ludwig,Michael Renton,Michael Renton,Erik J. Veneklaas,John R. Evans +5 more
TL;DR: In this study, laboratory measurements of leaf gas exchange and in vivo chlorophyll a fluorescence were used concurrently to derive estimates of g(m) in seven species of the Australian sclerophyllous genus Banksia covering a wide range of LMA, and a significant decrease of g (m) with increasing LMA was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA is present in the nucleomorph of cryptomonads: Further evidence that the chloroplast evolved from a eukaryotic endosymbiont
Martha Ludwig,Sarah P. Gibbs +1 more
TL;DR: The presence of DNA in nucleomorphs strongly supports the hypothesis that the nucleomorph is the vestigial nucleus of a eukaryotic endosymbiont and was an ancestral red alga or an organism closely related to red algae.
