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 …

As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel cropping systems will likely face …

Tree mortality during global‐change‐type drought is usually attributed to xylem dysfunction,
but as climate change increases the frequency of extreme heat events, it is necessary to …

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

Fusarium species threaten wheat crops around the world and cause global losses. The
global trend is toward using biological materials such as selenium (Se) in nano form to …

Wi 93 III. Determinants of the rapidity of gs responses 95 IV. Conclusion 97 …

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 expansion of the earth's population has led to the overuse of land and water resources,
which has ultimately resulted in their scarcity. Changing climatic conditions and erratic …

The ratio of plant carbon gain to water use, known as water use efficiency (WUE), has long
been recognized as a key constraint on crop production and an important target for crop …

Polyploidy, defined as the coexistence of three or more complete sets of chromosomes in an
organism's cells, is considered as a pivotal moving force in the evolutionary history of …
