Article Synopsis
- Rubisco is a key enzyme in photosynthesis that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, but its function can be hindered by inhibitory sugars like xylulose-1,5-bisphosphate (XuBP).
- In Arabidopsis thaliana, the loss of two specific phosphatases negatively impacts plant growth and photosynthesis, but introducing XuBP phosphatase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides can reverse these effects.
- The study highlights the importance of a metabolic repair system that helps clear harmful by-products of Rubisco, which could aid in improving carbon fixation in plants.
Background: The rise in mental health problems in the population directly or indirectly because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a major concern. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare independent predictors of symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Brazilians one month after the implementation of measures of social distancing.
