The Interrelationship Between Water Use Efficiency and Radiation Use Efficiency Under Progressive Soil Drying in Maize [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The maximizing of water use efficiency (WUE) and radiation use efficiency (RUE) is vital to improving crop production in dryland farming systems. However, the fundamental question as to the association of WUE with RUE and its underlying mechanism under ...

The importance of radiation for semiempirical water-use efficiency models [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a fundamental property for the coupling of carbon and water cycles in plants and ecosystems. Existing model formulations predicting this variable differ in the type of response of WUE to the atmospheric vapor pressure ...

Disentangling the Heterosis in Biomass Production and Radiation Use Efficiency in Maize: A Phytomer-Based 3D Modelling Approach [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Maize (Zea mays L.) benefits from heterosis in-yield formation and photosynthetic efficiency through optimizing canopy structure and improving leaf photosynthesis. However, the role of canopy structure and photosynthetic capacity in determining heterosis

A Review of Modeled Water Use Efficiency of Highly Productive Perennial Grasses Useful for Bioenergy
Agronomy, 2020 Whole plant productivity is obviously the ultimate product of leaf photosynthesis and this has led to numerous efforts to relate the two. However, often with perennial grasses, plant productivity is more sink-limited than source-limited, causing the ...

Variation in crop radiation-use efficiency with increased diffuse radiation
Crop Science, 1992 Radiation-use efficiency (RUE; grams of biomass accumulated, divided by total solar radiation intercepted) has proven to be a useful variable for quantifying biomass accumulation by crops.

Radiation Interception, Radiation Use Efficiency, and Crop Productivity
Photosynthesis is the set of processes whereby radiant energy is converted and stored as chemical energy in most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. This process depends on radiation, temperature, and ambient CO2 concentration.
