Estimates of primary production represent the input of carbon into food webs, as well as the initial step in the biological pump. For the past 60 years, much of the productivity information has been obtained using measurements of 14C-bicarbonate removal ...

Dependence of chlorophyll content in leaves from light regime, electromagnetic fields and plant species [PDF]
The regularity of the distribution of chlorophylls content in a series of 30 cultivated plants and 75 steppe grasses was studied. The increased content of chlorophyll and magnesium in vegetables and grains compared with greens and steppe grasses is associated with more complex genetics of metabolism, which has stages of flowering and fruiting.

SCARECROW gene function is required for photosynthetic development in maize
C4 photosynthesis in grasses relies on a specialized leaf anatomy. In maize, this “Kranz” leaf anatomy is patterned in part by the duplicated SCARECROW (SCR) genes ZmSCR1 and ZmSCR1h.
