Journal ArticleDOI

Heat stress: an overview of molecular responses in photosynthesis

TL;DR: Recent progress in the studies of molecular mechanisms involved during moderate heat stress on the photosynthetic machinery, especially in PSII are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defense potentials to NaCl in a mangrove, Bruguiera parviflora: differential changes of isoforms of some antioxidative enzymes.

TL;DR: Plants are protected against activated oxygen species by the elevated levels of certain antioxidative enzymes, thus avoiding lipid peroxidation during salt exposure and the differential changes in the levels of the isoforms due to NaCl treatment may be useful as markers for recognizing salt tolerance in mangroves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted mutagenesis of acyl-lipid desaturases in Synechocystis: evidence for the important roles of polyunsaturated membrane lipids in growth, respiration and photosynthesis.

TL;DR: Comparisons of the variously mutated cells revealed that the replacement of all polyunsaturated fatty acids by a monounsaturated fatty acid suppressed growth of the cells at low temperature and it decreased the tolerance of the Cells to photoinhibition of photosynthesis at low temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of salinity on biochemical components of the mangrove, Aegiceras corniculatum

TL;DR: The results show that the salt secreting mangrove A. corniculatum can be sustained and propagated under low salinity conditions, and the accumulation of polyphenols suggests a role as protective metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of proline in protecting thylakoid membranes against free radical-induced photodamage

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that proline is involved in reducing the photodamage in the thylakoid membranes by scavenging and/or reducing the production of 1O2.
