GLK Transcription Factors Coordinate Expression of the Photosynthetic Apparatus in Arabidopsis
Mark T. Waters,Peng Wang,Muris Korkaric,Richard G. Capper,Nigel J. Saunders,Jane A. Langdale +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that glk1 glk2 double mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana accumulate abnormal levels of chlorophyll precursors and that constitutive GLK gene expression leads to increased accumulation of transcripts for antenna proteins and chlorophyLL biosynthetic enzymes.

Chloroplastic NAD(P)H Dehydrogenase in Tobacco Leaves Functions in Alleviation of Oxidative Damage Caused by Temperature Stress
TL;DR: It is suggested that cyclic photophosphorylation via the NDH pathway might play an important role in regulation of CO2 assimilation under heat-stressed condition but is less important under chilling-Stressed condition, thus optimizing the photosynthetic electron transport and reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species.
Re-creation of a Key Step in the Evolutionary Switch from C3 to C4 Leaf Anatomy
Peng Wang,Roxana Khoshravesh,Shanta Karki,Ronald Tapia,C. Paolo Balahadia,Anindya Bandyopadhyay,W. Paul Quick,W. Paul Quick,Robert T. Furbank,Robert T. Furbank,Tammy L. Sage,Jane A. Langdale +11 more
TL;DR: Induction of chloroplast and mitochondrial development in rice vascular sheath cells through constitutive expression of maize GOLDEN2-LIKE genes reflects that seen in “proto-Kranz” species, and a key step toward engineering C4 rice has been achieved.

Genome-wide transcript analysis of early maize leaf development reveals gene cohorts associated with the differentiation of C4 Kranz anatomy.
TL;DR: A genome-wide comparative analysis of developmental trajectories in Kranz (foliar leaf blade) and non-Kranz leaves of the C4 plant maize suggests a role for additional pathways in the development of KranZ leaves, and suggests likely components of that network.

TL;DR: It is shown that constitutive expression of maize GLK genes in rice leads to enhanced levels of chlorophylls and pigment-protein antenna complexes, and that these increases lead to improved light harvesting efficiency via photosystem II in field-grown plants, which resulted in increased carbohydrate levels and a 30–40% increase in both vegetative biomass and grain yield.
