Phytochrome responses fall into three major categories based on the amount of light they require: very low fluence responses (VLFRs), low-fluence responses (LFRs), and high-irradiance responses (HIRs).

When an ethidium ion intercalates between two base pairs, it causes the DNA to unwind by 260, reducing the normal rotation per base pair from 360 to 100. In other words, ethidium decreases the twist of DNA.

Synthesis of an Okazaki fragment displaces the RNA primer of the preceding fragment in the form of a “flap.”

the base of the flap is cleaved by the enzyme FEN1 (f lap endonuclease 1).  In this reaction, FEN1 functions as an endonuclease, but it also has a 5’–3’; exonuclease activity. In DNA repair reactions, FEN1 may cleave next to a displaced nucleotide and then use its exonuclease activity to remove adjacent material.

Photorespiration stimulates nitrate assimilation in C3 plant roots, probably by increasing NADH availability in the cytosol.

Photorespiration is positively correlated with growth under nitrogen limitation

Hda is recruited by DNA Polymerase in previous cycle and it acts to switch off DnaA, preventing a second round of replication.
