Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral
molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins …

The aim of this educational review is to provide practical information on the hardware,
methodology, and the hands on application of chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence technology …

Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) are mineral nutrients that are required in large
quantities by plants. Both elements critically contribute to the process of photosynthesis and …

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 …

Enhancing photosynthesis is widely accepted as critical to advancing crop yield. However,
yield consequences of photosynthetic manipulation are confounded by feedback effects …

Aquaporins are membrane channel proteins ubiquitously present in all kingdoms of life.
Although aquaporins were originally discovered as water channels, their roles in the …

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 …

Background Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficits
during their life cycle as well as, in many areas of the globe, to high soil salinity …

Stomatal pores are formed by pairs of specialized epidermal guard cells and serve as major
gateways for both CO2 influx into plants from the atmosphere and transpirational water loss …

Photosynthesis is the basis of plant growth, and improving photosynthesis can contribute
toward greater food security in the coming decades as world population increases. Multiple …
