Photosynthetic carbon converted to sucrose is vital for plant growth. Sucrose acts as a
signaling molecule and a primary energy source that coordinates the source and sink …

Trehalose is a quantitatively important compatible solute and stress protectant in many
organisms, including green algae and primitive plants. These functions have largely been …

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time
for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant science …

The blue part of the light spectrum has been associated with leaf characteristics which also
develop under high irradiances. In this study blue light dose–response curves were made …

Plant responses to the projected future levels of CO2 were first characterized in short-term
experiments lasting days to weeks. However, longer term acclimation responses to elevated …

This review summarizes current understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the
response of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance to elevated carbon dioxide …

▪ Abstract The primary effect of the response of plants to rising atmospheric CO2 (Ca) is to
increase resource use efficiency. Elevated Ca reduces stomatal conductance and …

▪ Abstract Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) is now higher than it was at any time in
the past 26 million years and is expected to nearly double during this century. Terrestrial …

The term 'photosynthetic control'describes the short-and long-term mechanisms that regulate
reactions in the photosynthetic electron transport (PET) chain so that the rate of production of …

Quantitative integration of the literature on the effect of elevated CO 2 on woody plants is
important to aid our understanding of forest health in coming decades and to better predict …
