The effects of increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations on vegetative growth and
competitive performance were evaluated, using five meta‐analyses. Paying special attention …

Photosynthesis is regulated as a two‐way process. Light regulates the expression of genes
for photosynthesis and the activity of the gene products (feedforward control). Rate of end …

In terrestrial higher plants, phloem transport delivers most nutrients required for growth and
storage processes. Some 90% of plant biomass, transported as sugars and amino nitrogen …

Leaf senescence is a process of programmed cell death, which is induced in an age-
dependent manner and by various environmental cues. The mechanisms that regulate the …

In this work we test the hypothesis that yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) can be enhanced by
increasing endosperm activity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP), a key enzyme in …

The possibility that reduced photomorphogenic responses could increase field crop yield
has been suggested often, but experimental support is still lacking. Here, we report that …

The effects were studied of both nitrogen and phosphorus limitation and irradiance on the
performance and operation of photosynthesis in tomato leaves (Lycopersicon esculentum …

Photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism in apple [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var.
domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.] source leaves were monitored during a 7-day period after source …

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants were grown in liquid culture inside the
greenhouse of Hiroshima University, Japan. At the first fruiting stage, P was withdrawn from …

The role of photorespiration in the foliar assimilation of nitrate (NO3–) and carbon dioxide
(CO2) was investigated by measuring net CO2 assimilation, net oxygen (O2) evolution, and …
