Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) has been used for decades to study the organization,
functioning, and physiology of photosynthesis at the leaf and subcellular levels. ChlF is now …

Plants in natural environments must cope with diverse, highly dynamic, and unpredictable
conditions. They have mechanisms to enhance the capture of light energy when light …

Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) are mineral nutrients that are required in large
quantities by plants. Both elements critically contribute to the process of photosynthesis and …

Plant resistance to drought relies on adaptive strategies based on the timing of
phenophases and on the presence of structural traits mainly related to:(1) increase of water …

Plant functioning and survival in drylands are affected by the combination of high solar
radiation, high temperatures, low relative humidity, and the scarcity of available water. Many …

This study investigated the effect of foliar application of putrescine on growth, biochemical,
essential oil percent and morpho-anatomical characteristics of Thymus vulgaris L. under …

Urban paved sites are complex stress environments and when selecting trees for such sites,
tree planners must prioritise stress tolerance above aesthetic appeal and functional aspects …

Heat waves that trigger severe droughts are predicted to increase globally; however, we lack
an understanding of how trees respond to the combined change of extreme temperatures …

Drought stress is one of the most severe abiotic stresses affecting soil fertility and plant
health, and due to climate change, it is destined to increase even further, becoming a …

Abstract Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) influences plant photosynthesis and the hydraulic
behaviour associated with stomata regulation. However, it is not clear whether and how …
