Crop water use efficiency (WUE) has come into sharp focus as population growth and
climate change place increasing strain on the water used in cropping. Rainfed crops are …

Abstract The Free Air CO 2 Enrichment (FACE) facility enables the study of plant responses
to climate change under open field conditions. This meta-analysis was conducted to …

Mesophyll conductance (gm) is a crucial leaf trait contributing to the photosynthetic rate
(AN). Plant domestication typically leads to an enhancement of AN that is often associated …

Plants in the field experience dynamic changes of sunlight rather than steady-state
irradiation. Therefore, increasing the photosynthetic rate of an individual leaf under …

This study assessed the ability of phosphorus (P) fertilizer to remediate the rhizosphere of
three wild plant species (Banksia seminuda, a tree; Chloris truncata, a grass; and Hakea …

More than half of the people on Earth get their calories, proteins, and minerals from rice
grains. Staple increases in the quantity and quality of rice grains are key to ending hunger …

Photosynthesis is crucial for crop growth and yield, yet remains a limitation in enhancing
crop production under global climate change. Crop models have been widely used to …

A short period of exposure to elevated CO2 is known to decrease evapotranspiration via
stomatal closure. Based on theoretical evaluation of a canopy transpiration model, we …

Natural systems and human activities are causing climate change by emitting greenhouse
gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Anthropogenic activities have increased the average …

Recent years have seen numerous studies into how applying pulsed high electric fields
(PEF) to living organisms induces various stress reactions. Plants produce glucose through …
