Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms

The paper develops a merged theoretical model to analyze how energy and redox supply in photosynthesis matches carbon fixation demand, showing the necessity of a stand-by mode for efficient carbon fixation.

This study identifies rapidly evolving chloroplast genes that control lipid biosynthesis and influence plastid competitiveness in evening primroses, leading to uniparental or biparental inheritance.

This paper presents a cell-free method for producing soluble PsbS, a membrane protein, enabling incorporation of isotopes or labels for structural studies.

This study identifies WSL5, a pentatricopeptide repeat protein in rice, essential for chloroplast biogenesis under cold stress, showing defects in gene editing and splicing.

The paper develops a minimal kinetic model of cyanobacterial phototrophic growth to study protein allocation trade-offs and derives growth laws similar to heterotrophic organisms with key differences due to light energy and carbon uptake.

This study identifies AtRsgA as a chloroplast ribosome assembly factor and shows its role in plant viability and chloroplast function through transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of mutants.

The paper identifies a rice PPR protein, OsPGL1, that is involved in RNA editing in both mitochondria and chloroplasts, and shows its interaction with MORFs.
