A Pollen Carbonic Anhydrase Promotes Male Fertility Under Elevated Carbon Dioxide in Tomato.

Rising atmospheric CO2 is a defining feature of climate change and profoundly influences plant growth and productivity. While the effects of elevated CO2 on photosynthesis and vegetative biomass have been extensively studied, its direct impact on male reproductive development remains poorly understood. Here, we show th...

β-Carbonic anhydrases integrate CO2 and light cues to coordinate photosynthesis in tomato.

This work identifies two tomato β-carbonic anhydrases responsive to deficient CO2 and establishes chloroplast βCA1 as a key integrator of CO2 and light cues that optimizes photosystem performance through modulation of pmf partitioning and reveals stromal pH regulation as a previously unrecognized mechanism for optimizi...

A paradigm shift in the regulation of plant invertases

Reactive oxygen species, antioxidants and the regulation of plant development.

The roles of ROS, ROS-processing proteins, and antioxidants in the regulation of dormancy and axillary bud outgrowth are considered, highlighting novel strategies in managing crop architecture and productivity.
