This study examines how drought at different developmental stages affects switchgrass physiology, metabolism, and biofuel yield, finding that vegetative-stage drought increases resilience but reduces biofuel production.

The paper identifies a cytosolic glyoxylate shunt that supports photosynthesis and plant growth under high light in Arabidopsis by rescuing photorespiratory mutants.

The paper develops a mathematical model of a non-canonical carbon-concentrating mechanism in the alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, identifying key parameters that enable its function.

This study enhances the thermostability of the photorespiratory enzyme glycerate 3-kinase using structure-based recombination guided by molecular dynamics simulations.

The paper uses reaction-diffusion models to predict the efficiency of biophysical carbon concentrating mechanisms in C3 land plants, finding that their effectiveness depends on membrane permeability and specific environmental conditions.
