Concerns regarding petroleum depletion and global climate change caused by greenhouse
gas emissions have spurred interest in renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. Third …

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

Background Drought is one of the major factors limiting global maize production. Exposure
to long-term drought conditions inhibits growth and leads to yield losses. Although several …

RuBisCO‐catalyzed CO2 fixation is the main source of organic carbon in the biosphere. This
enzyme is present in all domains of life in different forms (III, II, and I) and its origin goes back …

Dynamic light conditions require continuous adjustments of stomatal aperture. The kinetics
of stomatal conductance (gs) is hypothesized to be key to plant productivity and water use …

Understanding the physiological responses of crops to drought is important for ensuring
sustained crop productivity under climate change, which is expected to exacerbate the …

Understanding the short‐term responses of mesophyll conductance (gm) and stomatal
conductance (gsc) to environmental changes remains a challenging yet central aspect of …

Photosynthesis drives plant physiology, biomass accumulation, and yield. Photosynthetic
efficiency, specifically the operating efficiency of PSII (F q'/F m'), is highly responsive to …

Photosynthetic rate at the present atmospheric condition is limited by the CO 2-fixing
enzyme ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) because of its …

Enhancing the catalytic properties of the CO 2-fixing enzyme Rubisco is a target for
improving agricultural crop productivity. Here, we reveal extensive diversity in the kinetic …
