Extreme heat, drought and moisture excess are increasingly co-occurring within a single
growing season, impacting crop yields in global breadbasket regions. In this Review, we …

Global agriculture is dominated by a handful of species that currently supply a huge
proportion of our food and feed. It additionally faces the massive challenge of providing food …

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time
for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant science …

The potential of mitigation actions to limit global warming within 2° C (ref.) might rely on the
abundant supply of biomass for large-scale bioenergy with carbon capture and storage …

As sessile organisms, plants are constantly challenged by a dynamic growing environment.
This includes fluctuations in temperature, water availability, light levels, and changes in …

Abiotic stresses adversely affect rice yield and productivity, especially under the changing
climatic scenario. Exposure to multiple abiotic stresses acting together aggravates these …

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) shows potential in exploring plant responses to
environmental changes caused by extreme climatic factors. However, how to accurately …

Global climate change is predicted to result in increased yield losses of agricultural crops
caused by environmental conditions. In particular, heat and drought stress are major factors …

Many photosynthetic species have evolved CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to
improve the efficiency of CO2 assimilation by Rubisco and reduce the negative impacts of …

Stomatal pores facilitate gaseous exchange between the inner air spaces of the leaf and the
atmosphere. As gatekeepers that balance CO 2 entry for photosynthesis against …
