Background With limited agricultural land and increasing human population, it is essential to
enhance overall photosynthesis and thus productivity. Oxygenic photosynthesis begins with …

Cold is one of the main abiotic stresses in temperate fruit crops, affecting the yield and fruit
quality of apple in China and European countries. The plant receptor‐like kinase FERONIA …

Accurate acquisition of plant phenotypic information has raised long-standing concerns in
support of crop breeding programs. Different methods have been developed for high …

Main conclusions Low temperature decreases PSII damage in vivo, confirming earlier in
vitro results. Susceptibility to photoinhibition differs among Arabidopsis accessions and …

Investigation on intrinsic properties of photosynthetic pigment molecules participating in
solar energy absorption and excitation, especially their eigen-absorption cross-section (σ ik) …

Strigolactones (SLs), a class of carotenoid-derived phytohormones, were originally
discovered as rhizosphere signaling molecules. They stimulate parasitic plant seed …

Chickpea is sensitive to cold stress, especially at reproductive stage, resulting in flower and
pod abortion that significantly reduces seed yield. In the present study, we evaluated (a) …

Cold acclimation, initiated by non-freezing low temperatures and light, is a natural strategy
for increasing plant survival even at sub-zero temperatures. However, it remains unclear …

The Antarctic lichen, Xanthoria elegans, in its hydrated state has several physiological
mechanisms to cope with high light effects on the photosynthetic processes of its …

Rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) serve as the primary source of natural rubber. Their native
habitat is characterized by warm and humid conditions, so they are particularly sensitive to …
