Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to determine the mechanism through which 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) affects quality red ‘Fuji’ apples, were stored for a short duration. Materials and Methods Red apples treated with 1-MCP (1.0 μl/L), at 25 °C 0, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 h, ethylene production was measured. An integrated metabolomic transcriptomic analysis performed on 24 h. Results rele...

Plastid-to-nucleus retrograde signaling plays an important role in regulating the expression of photosynthesis-associated nuclear genes (PhANGs) in accordance with physiological demands on chloroplast biogenesis and function. Despite its fundamental importance, little is known about the molecular nature of the plastid gene expression (PGE)-dependent type of retrograde signaling. PGE is a multif...

The ability of plants to adapt to changing light conditions depends on a protein kinase network in the chloroplast that leads to the reversible phosphorylation of key proteins in the photosynthetic membrane. Phosphorylation regulates, in a process called state transition, a profound reorganization of the electron transfer chain and remodeling of the thylakoid membranes. Phosphorylation governs ...

Here we document physiological and molecular attributes of three wheat cultivars (ZM9023, YM158 FM1228) under low light intensity with advanced technologies, including non-standard quantitative technology proteomics technology. We found lower dry matter accumulation compared ZM 9023 FM1228 intensities due to up-regulation photosynthetic parameters electron transport rate (ETR), Y(II), Fv/Fm, Ch...

The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana was used to evaluate the thylakoid membrane proteome under Fe-deficient conditions. Plants were cultivated using a novel hydroponic system, called "hydroponics on a chip", which yields highly reproducible plant tissue samples for physiological analyses, and can be easily used for in vivo stable isotope labeling. The thylakoid membrane proteome, from intact c...

The successful expression of foreign genes mainly depends on both a reliable method for transformation and a suitable promoter sequence. We created a series of modular plasmids that facilitate the rapid construction of large tandem vectors for transgene expression under the control of different promoter sequences in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Tandem vectors carrying expression cassettes for Ren...

Ultraviolet-B radiation regulates plant growth and morphology at low and ambient fluence rates but can severely impact on plants at higher doses. Some plant UV-B responses are related to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pyridoxine (vitamin B(6)) has been reported to be a quencher of ROS. UV-B irradiation of Arabidopsis Col-0 plants resulted in increased levels of PDX1 protein,...
