Plants have evolved many mechanisms to acclimate to deficit soil moisture conditions, and breeders can use these mechanisms to develop crops with improved abiotic stress tolerance in irrigated agriculture.

Increasing the yield of rice per unit area is important because of the demand from the growing human population in Asia. A group of varieties called erect panicle-type rice (EP) achieves very high yields under conditions of high nitrogen availability ...

Relationship Between Physiological Characteristic and Bean Quality on Some Cocoa Clones (Theobroma Cacao L.) [PDF]
Photosynthesis is one of the physiological process that influence the bean weight and this process related with the efectiveness of the stomata character and chlorophyll content in the leaves.

Leaf mesophyll conductance and leaf hydraulic conductance: an introduction to their measurement and coordination [PDF]
Two highly contrasting variables summarizing the efficiency of transport of materials within the leaf are recognized as playing central roles in determining gas exchange and plant performance. This paper summarizes current approaches for the measurement of mesophyll conductance to CO2 (g m) and leaf hydraulic conductance (K leaf) and addresses the ...

Freezing stress induces changes in the morphophysiological of chickpea and wild mustard seedlings
Wild mustard is one of the common and troublesome winter weeds of chickpea fields and a great competitor to reduce the chickpea productivity. Plant species (chickpeas cv. Saral and wild mustard) were compared at freezing temperatures (+4 as a control, 0,

Barley plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIP aquaporins) as water and CO2 transporters [PDF]
We identified barley aquaporins and demonstrated that one, HvPIP2;1, transports water and CO2. Regarding water homeostasis in plants, regulations of aquaporin expression were observed in many plants under several environmental stresses. Under salt stress,

Mesophyll conductance to CO2: current knowledge and future prospects
ABSTRACTDuring photosynthesis, CO2 moves from the atmosphere (Ca) surrounding the leaf to the sub‐stomatal internal cavities (Ci) through stomata, and from there to the site of carboxylation inside the chloroplast stroma (Cc) through the leaf mesophyll.

Cold acclimation of mesophyll conductance, bundle‐sheath conductance and leakiness in Miscanthus × giganteus [PDF]
Summary The cold acclimations of mesophyll conductance (gm), bundle‐sheath conductance (gbs) and the CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM) of C4 plants have not been well studied. Here, we estimated the temperature response of gm, gbs and leakiness (ϕ), the amount of concentrated CO2 that escapes the bundle‐sheath cells, for the chilling‐tolerant C4 ...

Reduction of hydraulic conductance to the canopy has been shown to result in stomatal responses to limit transpiration. To test for similar responses to perturbations of the hydraulic network in leaves, we simultaneously measured leaf gas exchange with ...
