Plastidic Phosphoglucose Isomerase Is an Important Determinant of Starch Accumulation in Mesophyll Cells, Growth, Photosynthetic Capacity, and Biosynthesis of Plastidic Cytokinins in Arabidopsis
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-26)
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate. It is involved in glycolysis and in the regeneration of glucose-6-P molecules in the oxidative pentose ...
Photosynthetic responses of trees in high-elevation forests: comparing evergreen species along an elevation gradient in the Central Andes
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Plant growth at extremely high elevations is constrained by high daily thermal amplitude, strong solar radiation and water scarcity. These conditions are particularly harsh in the tropics, where the highest elevation ...
Can environmental constraints determine random patterns of plant species co-occurrence?
(Wiley Blackwell, 2015-03)
Plant community ecologists use the null model approach to infer assembly processes from observed patterns of species co-occurrence. In about a third of published studies, the null hypothesis of random assembly cannot be ...
PGPRs and nitrogen-fixing legumes: a perfect team for efficient Cd phytoremediation?
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-02-25)
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic, biologically non-essential and highly mobile metal that has become an increasingly important environmental hazard to both wildlife and humans. In contrast to conventional remediation technologies, ...
Opening Pandora's box: cause and impact of errors on plant pigment studies
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-03-12)
Relevance for decision making of spatially explicit, participatory scenarios for ecosystem services in an area of a high current demand
(Elsevier, 2015-07-23)
Participatory ecosystem services scenarios can be used to inform decision making on the sustainable or wise use of biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (ES). To establish the plausibility and coherency of the recently ...
Provisioning ecosystem services supply and demand: the role of landscape management to reinforce supply and promote synergies with other ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2015-03-14)
Currently, trade enables regions to have a higher provisioning ecosystem services (ES) demand than that provided by ecosystems in the same region. This practice leads to a supply and demand provisioning ES scale mismatch, ...
From the individual to the landscape and back: time-varying effects of climate and herbivory on tree sapling growth at distribution limits.
(Wiley, 2015-12-14)
1. As herbivory can modulate climate-induced shifts in species distribution, disentangling the relative importance of herbivory and climate on plant growth can help to predict and manage future changes in vegetation, such ...
