The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and bulk atmosphere by stomata
governs CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and transpiration, determining plant productivity and …

Photosynthesis is the basis of plant growth, and improving photosynthesis can contribute
toward greater food security in the coming decades as world population increases. Multiple …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) represents a suite of intercorrelated leaf traits
concerning construction costs per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of carbon …

Increasing leaf transpiration efficiency (TE) may provide leads for growing rice like dryland
cereals such as wheat (Triticum aestivum). To explore avenues for improving TE in rice …

Flooding is an environmental stress for many natural and man-made ecosystems worldwide.
Genetic diversity in the plant response to flooding includes alterations in architecture …

Predicting the environmental responses of leaf photosynthesis is central to many models of
changes in the future global carbon cycle and terrestrial biosphere. The steady‐state …

Increasing concerns of global climatic change have stimulated research in all aspects of
carbon exchange. This has restored interest in leaf-photosynthetic models to predict and …

Foliage photosynthetic and structural traits were studied in 15 species with a wide range of
foliage anatomies to gain insight into the importance of key anatomical traits in the limitation …

The temperature responses of mesophyll conductance (gm) were investigated for nine
species using carbon isotope techniques combining tunable diode laser spectroscopy and …

During photosynthesis, CO2 moves from the atmosphere (Ca) surrounding the leaf to the
sub‐stomatal internal cavities (Ci) through stomata, and from there to the site of …
