Soil phosphorus drives subcontinental patterns of carbon isotope discrimination across Australia
Summary Several transects have been established to study the sensitivity of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C) in woody plants to mean annual precipitation (MAP) across Australia. These have shown a surprising divergence in Δ13C‐MAP sensitivity among subcontinental regions.

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

Environmental influences on the maximum quantum yield of terrestrial primary production
Temperature and aridity effects on terrestrial ecosystems' intrinsic quantum yield. Summary Historically, terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) have assigned the intrinsic (maximum) quantum yield of photosynthesis (ϕ0)$$ {\phi}_0\Big) $$ a constant value for each plant functional type. However, experimental studies have shown that ϕ0$$ {\phi}_0 $$ – when

The genetic architecture of leaf vein density and its importance for photosynthesis in maize
Vein types in maize leaves. Summary Leaf venation density has significantly increased during plant evolution. Higher densities are observed in angiosperms compared with early land plants, and among angiosperms, recently diverged C4 species have the highest values.

Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species
Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

ABSTRACT Climate change‐driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat–drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non‐stress glasshouse conditions and a late‐sowing field ...
