Abstract:
Light-dependent transcriptional activation of the photolyase gene imparts UVB tolerance to a plant. In the present study, the cucumber CPD photolyase gene (CsPHR) was isolated from a genomic DNA library and its genomic structure was scrutinized. As a result, putative light-responsive cis-acting elements were found in the CsPHR promoter.

Prokaryotic genomes exhibit a streamlined organization of coding and non-coding regions essential for gene expression and protein synthesis. While coding regions contain the genetic instructions for proteins or functional RNAs, non-coding regions regulate the precise transcription and translation of these genes.Coding Regions: Proteins and RNAsThe primary coding regions, known as structural genes, include sequences transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and ultimately translated into...

01:27C4 Pathway and CAM
49.6K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.
