NDH complex-mediated cyclic electron flow in bundle sheath cells enables C4 photosynthesis

This study shows that NDH complex-mediated cyclic electron flow in bundle sheath cells is essential for ATP production required for CO2 fixation in C4 photosynthesis.

Faster responses of photosynthesis to light transitions increase biomass and grain yield in transgenic Sorghum bicolor overexpressing Rieske FeS

This study shows that overexpressing Rieske FeS in Sorghum bicolor improves photosynthetic responses to light changes, leading to higher biomass and grain yield.

A cross-scale analysis to understand and quantify effects of photosynthetic enhancement on crop growth and yield

The paper uses a cross-scale model to predict how photosynthetic manipulations affect wheat and sorghum yield across environments, finding modest gains with some strategies and challenges in scaling up.

Rieske FeS overexpression in tobacco provides increased abundance and activity of Cytochrome b6f

Overexpressing Rieske FeS in tobacco increases Cytochrome b6f abundance and activity, leading to transient improvements in photosynthetic electron transport.

Increased sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase content in the C4 species Setaria viridis does not affect photosynthesis

This study overexpresses SBPase in C4 plant Setaria viridis but finds no improvement in photosynthesis rates or CO2 assimilation.

Flv3A facilitates O2 photoreduction and affects H2 photoproduction independently of Flv1A in diazotrophic Anabaena filaments

Expression of a CO2-permeable aquaporin enhances mesophyll conductance in the C4 species Setaria viridis

The paper shows that expressing a CO2-permeable aquaporin in mesophyll cells of Setaria viridis increases CO2 diffusion conductance and enhances C4 photosynthesis.

Reduction of bundle sheath size boosts cyclic electron flow in C4 Setaria viridis acclimated to low light

This study shows that reducing bundle sheath size in low light-grown C4 Setaria viridis increases cyclic electron flow, improving photosynthetic efficiency by optimizing light reactions over carbon metabolism.

Up-regulation of bundle sheath electron transport capacity under limiting light in C4 Setaria viridis

This study shows that under low light, bundle sheath cells in C4 Setaria viridis upregulate electron transport components and alter PSII composition, enhancing their capacity for linear electron flow.

Functional redundancy and crosstalk between flavodiiron proteins and NDH-1 in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

The paper shows that flavodiiron proteins and NDH-1 complex work together to protect cyanobacterial cells from photodamage during changes in CO2 and light conditions.

Overexpression of the Rieske FeS protein of the Cytochrome b6f complex increases C4 photosynthesis

This study shows that overexpressing the Rieske FeS protein in C4 plants increases CO2 assimilation rates by enhancing electron transport efficiency.
