Elevated [CO2] negatively impacts C4 photosynthesis under heat and water stress without penalizing biomass

Y Al-Salman, O Ghannoum… - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Elevated [CO2](eCO2) and water stress reduce leaf stomatal conductance (gs),
which may affect leaf thermoregulation during heat waves (heat stress). Two sorghum lines …

Anatomical drivers of stomatal conductance in sorghum lines with different leaf widths grown under different temperatures

Y Al‐Salman, FJ Cano, L Pan, F Koller… - Plant, Cell & …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Sustaining crop productivity and resilience in water‐limited environments and under rising

Midday water use efficiency in sorghum is linked to faster stomatal closure rate, lower stomatal aperture and higher stomatal density

Y Al‐Salman, O Ghannoum, FJ Cano - The Plant Journal, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Most studies assume midday gas exchange measurements capture the leaf's daytime
performance. However, stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthesis (A n) fluctuate …
