Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...

Characterization of three 2-hydroxy-acid dehydrogenases in the context of a biotechnological approach to short-circuit photorespiration [PDF]
Photorespiration results from the incorporation of oxygen into ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate due to the failure of RuBisCO to properly discriminate between oxygen and carbon dioxide.

New isoforms and assembly of glutamine synthetase in the leaf of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). [PDF]
Glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) plays a crucial role in the assimilation and re-assimilation of ammonia derived from a wide variety of metabolic processes during plant growth and development.

Optimization of photosynthesis for sustainable crop production
Crop production will need to increase by about 60% to satisfy the demand of food for the fast-growing population globally. A number of recent studies have provided strong support demonstrating that improving the photosynthetic efficiency via different ...

Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

Mechanisms of glacial-to-future atmospheric CO2 effects on plant immunity [PDF]
• Impacts of rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations on plant disease have received much attention recently. Nonetheless, evidence about the direct mechanisms by which CO2 shapes plant immunity remains fragmented and controversial.

To combat decrease in rice productivity under different stresses, an understanding of rice metabolism is needed. Though there are different genome scale metabolic models (GSMs) of Oryza sativa japonica, no GSM with gene-protein-reaction association exist

Summary Wind‐driven plant movement generates rapid light fluctuations (windflecks), which can impact canopy photosynthesis. Targeting crop photosynthesis in dynamic light provides a potential path towards boosting yield. Here, we quantified how plant architecture and biomechanics modulate such windflecks across 10 high‐yielding cultivars of winter ...

ABSTRACT Oomycete pathogens secrete hundreds of RXLR effectors into plant cells to modulate host immunity by targeting diverse plant proteins. Here, we report that the Peronophythora litchii RXLR effector PlAvh133 acts as a virulence factor and targets the litchi glycolate oxidase (GLO) LcGLO1, a key enzyme in photorespiration, thereby suppressing ...
