Stomatal anatomy coordinates leaf size with Rubisco kinetics in the Balearic Limonium
2019
Abstract Trait integration arises through both selection on functional coordination and shared developmental pathways. Different anatomical components must both work well and develop together to generate individuals with the appropriate physiology to survive and reproduce in their environment. In this study, we used a common garden experiment and Bayesian multilevel models to test whether stomatal anatomy coordinates leaf gas exchange, Rubisco kinetics, and leaf size across 10 closely related species of Limonium from the Balearic Islands. The results indicate that the anatomical determinants of maximum stomatal conductance, stomatal density and size, were functionally coordinated with Rubis…
Investigation on the Nitrogen Metabolism of Spruce Needles in Relation to the Occurrence of Novel Forest Decline
1988
Summary In order to obtain information on the nitrogen metabolism of undamaged and damaged spruce ( Picea abies ), investigations were performed in 1985 and 1986 on the activity of glutamine synthetase and on the content of free ammonium and soluble proteins in spruce needles. In addition, the chlorophyll content was determined. Needles from the second needle year and the seventh whorl were used. The investigations were carried out in pair comparison on a 20-year-old spruce plantation and in comparison with damage classes on an 80-year-old spruce plantation. Both the pair comparison and the contrasting of different damage groups show an unequivocal decrease of the chlorophyll content correl…

Can improving a biscuit's nutritional characteristics be compatible with maintaining it sensory quality?
2013
Poster (1 page) ; http://www.pangborn2013.com/; International audience; Authorities encourage people to reduce fat and sugar consumption in public campaigns such as the National Nutritional Health Program in France. French producers are also encouraged to improve the nutritional composition of well-known commercial products by reducing fat and/or sugar contents. The objective of our study was to determine whether it was possible to do so while maintaining the sensory quality of the reformulated products. The study dealt with the impact of fat and sugar reduction on liking and sensory perception of 6 types of French commercial biscuits and cakes. For each type of product, one example of the …
Democrazie e plebiscito

Riflessione sui modelli di democrazia a confronto con la chiamata diretta del popolo nella logica plebiscitaria
Ks. dziekan Franciszek Pogrzeba (1873-1941) - duszpasterz, społecznik i górnośląski działacz plebiscytowy 1921 r
2021
The article is a contribution to the biography of the Catholic clergyman, parish priest in the parish of Łubniany located in Upper Silesia – the Rev. Franciszek Pogrzeba. He was one of the fourteen priests who signed the so-called “Appeal to Priests”, in compliance with which they broke off their cooperation with the Catholic German Center Party (Deutsche Zentrumspartei) and supported the Deputies of the “Polish Circle” in the German Parliament. After World War 1, the Rev. Pogrzeba actively engaged for incorporation of Upper Silesia into Poland. Following the division of the region, threatened by German nationalists, he had to flee to Poland, where he spent the rest of his life working as a…
Diversidad de mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae) de Jarabacoa, República Dominicana
2019
En República Dominicana tienen especial interés, dada su gran relevancia médica, las enfermedades transmitidas por mosquitos. La presente investigación profundiza sobre la diversidad de los culícidos existentes en el municipio de Jarabacoa, a fin de actualizar la información sobre estos dípteros y sus principales sitios de cría, naturales y artificiales. Para tal cometido, se procedió a la búsqueda activa de formas preimaginales mediante la técnica del dipper; se utilizaron pipetas plásticas para muestrear en reservorios de pequeño tamaño. La identificación se llevó a cabo mediante la utilización de lupa binocular y microscopio, con la ayuda de claves taxonómicas específicas. Se capturaron …
Control of the activity of Rubisco from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii through the redox state of its cysteine residues
2012
RESUMEN de la MEMORIA de TESIS DOCTORAL titulada: CONTROL OF THE ACTIVITY OF RUBISCO FROM CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII THROUGH THE REDOX STATE OF ITS CYSTEINE RESIDUES. presentada por HEMANTH PHANI KUMAR SUDHANI para optar al título de DOCTOR dentro del Programa Oficial de Posgrado en BIOTECNOLOGÍA (D030-01) de la Universitat de València. Tema: La actividad del enzima fijador de carbono en eucariotas fotosintéticos, la ribulosa 1,5-bisfosfato carboxilas/oxigenasa (Rubisco), puede regularse in vitro por efectores redox. Esta capacidad existe en los enzimas de todas las especies eucarióticas ensayadas y se supone que reside en un número relativamente reducido de residuos de cisteína conservados,…
Redox modulation of Rubisco conformation and activity through its cysteine residues
2008
Treatment of purified Rubisco with agents that specifically oxidize cysteine-thiol groups causes catalytic inactivation and increased proteolytic sensitivity of the enzyme. It has been suggested that these redox properties may sustain a mechanism of regulating Rubisco activity and turnover during senescence or stress. Current research efforts are addressing the structural basis of the redox modulation of Rubisco and the identification of critical cysteines. Redox shifts result in Rubisco conformational changes as revealed by the alteration of its proteolytic fragmentation pattern upon oxidation. In particular, the augmented susceptibility of Rubisco to proteases is due to increased exposure…
Reversible inhibition of CO2fixation by ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase through the synergic effect of arsenite and a monothiol
2013
The activity of the photosynthetic carbon-fixing enzyme, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), is partially inhibited by arsenite in the millimolar concentration range. However, micromolar arsenite can fully inhibit Rubisco in the presence of a potentiating monothiol such as cysteine, cysteamine, 2-mercaptoethanol or N-acetylcysteine, but not glutathione. Arsenite reacts specifically with the vicinal Cys172-Cys192 from the large subunit of Rubisco and with the monothiol to establish a ternary complex, which is suggested to be a trithioarsenical. The stability of the complex is strongly dependent on the nature of the monothiol. Enzyme activity is fully recovered through …
