Jatropha curcas is a drought-tolerant plant that maintains its photosynthetic pigments under
prolonged drought, and quickly regains its photosynthetic capacity when water is available …

In October 2020, at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of young Brazilian
photosynthesis researchers organized the 1st Brazilian Symposium on Photosynthesis. The …

Phragmites karka is gaining increasing attention as a biofuel crop due to high ligno-
cellulosic biomass. In this study we investigated plant growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll …

Drought negatively impacts growth and productivity of plants, particularly in arid and semi-
arid regions. Although drought events can take place in summer and winter, differences in …

Heat waves (HWs) pose a significant threat to California agriculture, with potential adverse
effects on crop photosynthetic capacity, quality and yield, all of which contribute to significant …
