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

Rubisco catalyses the carboxylation of ribulose‐1, 5‐bisphosphate (RuBP), enabling net
CO2 assimilation in photosynthesis. The properties and regulation of R ubisco are not …

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 …

Decreasing relative water content (RWC) of leaves progressively decreases stomatal
conductance (gs), slowing CO2 assimilation (A) which eventually stops, after which CO2 is …

Rubisco is the primary entry point for carbon into the biosphere. However, rubisco is widely
regarded as inefficient leading many to question whether the enzyme can adapt to become …

▪ Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzes
the first step in net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation and photorespiratory carbon oxidation …

Spectroscopy is becoming an increasingly powerful tool to alleviate the challenges of
traditional measurements of key plant traits at the leaf, canopy, and ecosystem scales …

Nitrogen fertilizer represents a significant cost of production for the grower and may also
have environmental impacts through nitrate leaching, use of fossil fuels for manufacture and …

Gene expression in plants can be suppressed in a sequencespecific manner by infection
with virus vectors carrying fragments of host genes. Recent developments have revealed …

The sequence of reactions in the Calvin cycle, and the biochemical characteristics of the
enzymes involved, have been known for some time. However, the extent to which any …
