[PDF][PDF] Growth controls photosynthesis–mostly
CK ML - Nova Acta Leopoldina NF, 2013 - researchgate.net
In this essay, I am trying to draw attention to a number of misconceptions related to a
mechanistic understanding of environmental controls of plant growth. In contrast to wide …

Physiological mechanisms in plant growth models: do we need a supra‐cellular systems biology approach?
In the first part of this paper, we review the extent to which various types of plant growth
models incorporate ecophysiological mechanisms. Many growth models have a central role …

Sink regulation of photosynthesis
The concept that photosynthetic flux is influenced by the accumulation of photo‐assimilate
persisted for 100 years before receiving any strong experimental support. Precise analysis …

Some often overlooked plant characteristics as determinants of plant growth: a reconsideration
CH Korner - Functional ecology, 1991 - JSTOR
Plant primary production is ultimately dependent on photosynthetic CO2 uptake. However,
photosynthate production also depends on the amount of photosynthetically active tissue …

Water deficits uncouple growth from photosynthesis, increase C content, and modify the relationships between C and growth in sink organs
In plants, carbon (C) molecules provide building blocks for biomass production, fuel for
energy, and exert signalling roles to shape development and metabolism. Accordingly, plant …

Rising CO2 levels and their potential significance for carbon flow in photosynthetic cells
M Stitt - Plant, Cell & Environment, 1991 - Wiley Online Library
In the first part of this review, I discuss how we can predict the direct short‐term effect of
enhanced CO2 on photosynthetic rate in C3 terrestrial plants. To do this, I consider:(1) to …

Does Enhanced Photosynthesis Enhance Growth? Lessons Learned from CO2 Enrichment Studies
MUF Kirschbaum - Plant physiology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Plants typically convert only 2% to 4% of the available energy in radiation into new plant
growth. This low efficiency has provided an impetus for trying to genetically manipulate …

Functional dynamics of plant growth and photosynthesis–from steady‐state to dynamics–from homogeneity to heterogeneity
Plants are much more dynamic than we usually expect them to be. This dynamic behaviour
is of paramount importance for their performance under natural conditions, when resources …
