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 …

The redox state of the chloroplast and mitochondria, the two main powerhouses of
photosynthesizing eukaryotes, is maintained by a delicate balance between energy …

A long-term strategy to enhance global crop photosynthesis and yield involves the
introduction of cyanobacterial CO 2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into plant …

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 …

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 …

Past increases in yield potential of wheat have largely resulted from improvements in
harvest index rather than increased biomass. Further large increases in harvest index are …

Increasing concerns of global climatic change have stimulated research in all aspects of
carbon exchange. This has restored interest in leaf-photosynthetic models to predict and …

Background Water deficit (WD) decreases photosynthetic rate (A) via decreased stomatal
conductance to CO2 (gs) and photosynthetic metabolic potential (A pot). The relative …

Increased periods of water shortage and higher temperatures, together with a reduction in
nutrient availability, have been proposed as major factors that negatively impact plant …

We review the photosynthetic responses to drought in field‐grown grapevines and other
species. As in other plant species, the relationship between photosynthesis and leaf water …
