Development of a portable leaf photosynthesis and volatile organic compounds emission system. [PDF]
, 2020 Understanding how plant carbon metabolism responds to environmental variables such as light is central to understanding ecosystem carbon cycling and the production of food, biofuels, and biomaterials. Here, we couple a portable leaf photosynthesis system

Characteristics of C-4 photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C-3 flowering plants [PDF]
, 2002 Most plants are known as C-3 plants because the first product of photosynthetic CO2 fixation is a three-carbon compound. C-4 plants, which use an alternative pathway in which the first product is a four-carbon compound, have evolved independently many ...

Palisade cell shape affects the light-induced chloroplast movements and leaf photosynthesis [PDF]
, 2018 Leaf photosynthesis is regulated by multiple factors that help the plant to adapt to fluctuating light conditions. Leaves of sun-light-grown plants are thicker and contain more columnar palisade cells than those of shade-grown plants.

Evolutionary temperature compensation of carbon fixation in marine phytoplankton [PDF]
, 2020 The efficiency of carbon sequestration by the biological pump could decline in the coming decades because respiration tends to increase more with temperature than photosynthesis.

Higher absorbed solar radiation partly offset the negative effects of water stress on the photosynthesis of Amazon forests during the 2015 drought [PDF]
, 2018 Amazon forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle and Earth\u27s climate. The vulnerability of Amazon forests to drought remains highly controversial.

Photosynthetic responses of three common mosses from continental Antarctica [PDF]
, 2005 Predicting the effects of climate change on Antarctic terrestrial vegetation requires a better knowledge of the ecophysiology of common moss species. In this paper we provide a comprehensive matrix for photosynthesis and major environmental parameters ...

Understanding plant responses to drought: how important is woody tissue photosynthesis? [PDF]
, 2013 Within trees, it is known that a part of the respired CO2 is assimilated in chlorophyll-containing stem and branch tissues. However, the role of this woody tissue photosynthesis in tree functioning remains unclear, in particular under drought stress ...

Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]
, 2009 C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...

Phenotypic landscape inference reveals multiple evolutionary paths to C$_4$ photosynthesis [PDF]
, 2013 C$_4$ photosynthesis has independently evolved from the ancestral C$_3$ pathway in at least 60 plant lineages, but, as with other complex traits, how it evolved is unclear.
