Deficit Irrigation as a Tool to Optimize Fruit Quality in Abbé Fetél Pear
Climate change is leading to higher plant water requirements and rootstock can play a role in tree adaptation, since the more vigorous ones are also likely to be more stress resistant. Pear trees of the cv.

Optimal allocation of leaf epidermal area for gas exchange [PDF]
Summary A long‐standing research focus in phytology has been to understand how plants allocate leaf epidermal space to stomata in order to achieve an economic balance between the plant's carbon needs and water use. Here, we present a quantitative theoretical framework to predict allometric relationships between morphological stomatal traits in ...

Reduction of molecular gas diffusion through gaskets in leaf gas exchange cuvettes by leaf‐mediated pores [PDF]
AbstractThere is an ongoing debate on how to correct leaf gas exchange measurements for the unavoidable diffusion leakage that occurs when measurements are done in non‐ambient CO2 concentrations. In this study, we present a theory on how the CO2 diffusion gradient over the gasket is affected by leaf‐mediated pores (LMP) and how LMP reduce diffusive ...

Red and Blue Netting Alters Leaf Morphological and Physiological Characteristics in Apple Trees
There is little information about the role of red and blue light on leaf morphology and physiology in fruit trees, and more studies have been developed in herbaceous plants grown under controlled light conditions.

Seasonal coordination of leaf hydraulics and gas exchange in a wintergreen fern [PDF]
AbstractWintergreen fern Polystichum acrostichoides has fronds that are photosynthetically active year-round, despite diurnal and seasonal changes in soil moisture, air temperature and light availability. This species can fix much of its annual carbon during periods when the deciduous canopy is open.

Leaf Age Affects Gas Exchange in Okra [PDF]
Two studies were conducted to assess the effects of leaf aging on gas exchange in okra [ Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] leaves. Gas exchange was measured at 6- to 10-day intervals starting 15 days after leaf emergence (DFE) and continuing until senescence at 50 DFE.

(430) Leaf Gas Exchange of Carrots in Response to Increasing Leaf Temperatures [PDF]
Increasing temperature as a result of global climate change is expected to exert a great influence on agricultural crops, possibly through effects on photosynthesis. Response to temperature of leaf gas exchange parameters of carrot ( Daucus carota L. var. sativus

Supplying nitrogen to crops through selecting high N fixing legumes and effective inoculant is one of the key strategies to improve crop productivity. However, studies related to the effect of Bradyrhizobial inoculation on leaf growth, its functioning in

Interaction between soil salinity and nitrogen on growth and gaseous exchanges in guava
This study evaluated the growth and gas exchanges of guava, cv. ‘Paluma’ cultivated in salinized soil and subjected to different nitrogen (N) doses in a protected environment in the municipality of Campina Grande-PB.

Assimilate transport in phloem sets conditions for leaf gas exchange [PDF]
ABSTRACTCarbon uptake and transpiration in plant leaves occurs through stomata that open and close. Stomatal action is usually considered a response to environmental driving factors. Here we show that leaf gas exchange is more strongly related to whole tree level transport of assimilates than previously thought, and that transport of assimilates is a ...
