Metabolic pathways of C3 and C4 plants. (Credit: Williams et al., 2013) What this tells us is that many plants – including food crops and species of trees – which use the C 3 carbon fixing ...

For example, in plants, specific metabolic pathways can produce glucose and chlorophyll. Metabolic pathways can be described as a series of chemical reactions that start with a substrate and ...

Plant nutrients are not only substrates for biosynthesis but also signaling molecules associated with regulation of gene expression and metabolism. Plant nutrients from the environment and their ...

The study of cell energy and metabolism has broad implications beyond bacteria, plants, and the organisms that consume them. The energy-generating mechanisms of photosynthetic organisms have the ...

Yerba mate, along with tea and coffee, is one of the world's most popular caffeinated beverages. Widely consumed in South ...

Analysis of the yerba mate plant genome reveals that caffeine was key for the evolution of its metabolic complexity and ...

The way that plants process nutrients has a rich back ... It's useful to differentiate these enzyme tools into two groups: core metabolism and specialized metabolism. For enzymes involved in ...

This interaction is essential for balancing the plant's adaptive response to nutrient ... These insights not only deepen our ...

The MEP pathway is an essential part of the energy metabolism of several bacteria, including the hospital germ Pseudomonas aeruginosa. If the MEP pathway in bacteria is blocked, for example by a ...
