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

Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13 C) of terrestrial plants are employed across a diverse
range of applications in environmental and plant sciences; however, the kind of information …

Photorespiration is an essential process juxtaposed between plant carbon and nitrogen
metabolism that responds to dynamic environments. Photorespiration recycles inhibitory …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) represents a suite of intercorrelated leaf traits
concerning construction costs per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of carbon …

Trait variability in space and time allows plants to adjust to changing environmental
conditions. However, we know little about how this variability is distributed and coordinated …

Stomata are orifices that connect the drier atmosphere with the interconnected network of
more humid air spaces that surround the cells within a leaf. Accurate values of the humidities …

Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO2 is a key photosynthetic trait that has been studied
intensively in the past years. The intention of the present review is to update knowledge of …

There are two naturally occurring stable isotopes of carbon,~ 2C and~ 3C. Most of the
carbon is 12C (98.9%), with 1.1% being 13C. The isotopes are unevenly distributed among …

Marion H. O'Leary he efficiency of photosynthesis continues to interest biochem-ists,
biologists, and plant physiologists. Scientists interested in CO2 uptake are concerned about …

The functioning of all living systems obeys the laws of physics in fundamental ways. This is
true for all physiological processes that occur inside cells, tissues, organs, and organisms …
