Background The starchy crops which normally form the staple diet of people are rich in
carbohydrates. People leading a sedentary lifestyle and consuming high amounts of …

Photorespiration is an essential process juxtaposed between plant carbon and nitrogen
metabolism that responds to dynamic environments. Photorespiration recycles inhibitory …

The elevation of atmospheric CO 2 concentration has a strong impact on the physiology of
C3 plants, far beyond photosynthesis and C metabolism. In particular, it reduces the …

C and N are the most important essential elements constituting organic compounds in
plants. The shoots and roots depend on each other by exchanging C and N through the …

Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human
nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied …

Nitrogen (N) availability is a major factor determining plant growth and productivity. Plants
acquire inorganic N from the soil, mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium. To date …

Elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) enhances the yield of vegetables and could also affect
their nutritional quality. We conducted a meta-analysis using 57 articles consisting of 1,015 …

Photorespiratory metabolism is essential for plants to maintain functional photosynthesis in
an oxygen‐containing environment. Because the oxygenation reaction of Rubisco is …
