Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Gesneriaceae [PDF]
The occurrence of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was studied in four epiphytic species of the Gesneriaceae: two neotropical species, Codonanthe crassifolia and Columnea linearis, and two paleotropical species, Aoschynanthus pulcher and ...

Divergent drivers of leaf trait variation within species, among species, and among functional groups. [PDF]
Understanding variation in leaf functional traits-including rates of photosynthesis and respiration and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus-is a fundamental challenge in plant ecophysiology. When expressed per unit leaf area, these traits typically

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 ...

Photosynthetic Adaptation to Length of Day Is Dependent on S-Sulfocysteine Synthase Activity in the Thylakoid Lumen [PDF]
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) chloroplasts contain two O-acetyl-serine(thiol)lyase (OASTL) homologs, OAS-B, which is an authentic OASTL, and CS26, which has S-sulfocysteine synthase activity.

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,

Six cultivated rice genotypes showing different stomatal conductance (gs) values were used to investigate the influence of leaf vein traits on leaf gas exchange and leaf hydraulics.

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 ...

The photosynthetic response of tobacco plants overexpressing ice plant aquaporin McMIPB to a soil water deficit and high vapor pressure deficit [PDF]
We investigated the photosynthetic capacity and plant growth of tobacco plants overexpressing ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) aquaporin McMIPB under (1) a well-watered growth condition, (2) a well-watered and temporal higher vapor pressure ...

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.
