Photosynthesis is an important remaining opportunity for further improvement in the genetic
yield potential of our major crops. Measurement, analysis, and improvement of leaf CO2 …

Nitrogen (N), as a macro-element, plays a vital role in plant growth and development. N
deficiency affects plant productivity by decreasing photosynthesis, leaf area and longevity of …

We present unresolved questions in plant abiotic stress biology as posed by 15 research
groups with expertise spanning eco-physiology to cell and molecular biology. Common …

Global warming and associated precipitation changes will negatively impact on many
agricultural ecosystems. Major food production areas are expected to experience reduced …

The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and external atmosphere is governed by
stomatal conductance (gs); therefore, stomata play a critical role in photosynthesis and …

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

Stomata control the flow of gases between plants and the atmosphere. This review is
centered on stomatal responses to elevated CO2 concentration and considers other key …

The epidermal patterning factor (EPF) family of secreted signaling peptides regulate the
frequency of stomatal development in model dicot and basal land plant species. Here, we …

The intricate and interconnecting reactions of C3 photosynthesis are often limited by one of
two fundamental processes: the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy, or the …

Biochar is an amendment that can be used for enhancing soil water storage which may
increase crop productivity. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of biochar …
