Daily changes of amino acids in soybean leaflets are modified by CO2 enrichment
The effects of CO2 enrichment on plant growth and on nitrogen partitioning were examined using soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Clark] leaflets. Plants were grown from single seeds in matching controlled environment chambers.

Photosynthate Partitioning into Starch in Soybean Leaves [PDF]
Two photosynthetic periods and photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) were used to study the relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and starch accumulation in vegetative soybean leaves (Merr. cv Amsoy 71). Plants grown in short daily photosynthetic periods (7 hours) had higher rates of CO(2) fixation per unit leaf dry weight and of leaf ...

Interannual, seasonal, and diel variation in soil respiration relative to ecosystem respiration at a wetland to upland slope at Harvard Forest [PDF]
Soil carbon dioxide efflux (soil respiration, SR) was measured with eight autochambers at two locations along a wetland to upland slope at Harvard Forest over a 4 year period, 2003–2007.

A model for simulating structure-function relationships in walnut tree growth processes.
An ecophysiological growth process model, called INCA, for simulating the growth and development of a young walnut tree (Juglans regia L.) during three or four years, is presented. This tool, currently under development, aims at integrating architectural

Growth analysis, photosynthate partition and nodulation in bean and soybean
ABSTRACT: Photoassimilate partition and allocation among plant organs varies throughout their development and is also influenced by factors inherent to the genotype and the environment. Nodulation in the soybean-diazotrophic bacteria interaction is more effective than in the bean-diazotrophic bacteria interaction.

Climatic, edaphic, and biotic controls over storage and turnover of carbon in soils [PDF]
Soil carbon, a major component of the global carbon inventory, has significant potential for change with changing climate and human land use. We applied the Century ecosystem model to a series of forest and grassland sites distributed globally to examine

Shoot and Root Traits Contribute to Drought Resistance in Recombinant Inbred Lines of MD 23–24 × SEA 5 of Common Bean [PDF]
Drought is the major abiotic stress factor limiting yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in smallholder systems in Latin America and eastern and southern Africa; where it is a main source of protein in the daily diet.

Unraveling the complex trait of harvest index with association mapping in rice (Oryza sativa L.). [PDF]
Harvest index is a measure of success in partitioning assimilated photosynthate. An improvement of harvest index means an increase in the economic portion of the plant.

Photosynthesis and Photosynthate Partitioning in Sweet Potato Genotypes1
Abstract Field experiments were conducted during 1979 and 1980 growing seasons with sweet potato [ Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] genotypes at different stages of growth to determine leaf net photosynthetic rates (Pn) and photosynthate partitioning patterns.
