Keeping a positive carbon balance under adverse conditions: responses of photosynthesis and respiration to water stress

J Flexas, J Bota, J Galmés, H Medrano… - Physiologia …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Drought and salinity (ie soil water stress) are the main environmental factors limiting
photosynthesis and respiration and, consequently, plant growth. This review summarizes the …

Differential sensitivity of C3 and C4 plants to water deficit stress: association with oxidative stress and antioxidants

H Nayyar, D Gupta - Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2006 - Elsevier
The metabolic reasons associated with differential sensitivity of C3 and C4 plant species to
water stress are not well understood. In the present study, 15-day-old wheat (Triticum …

The dehydrogenase‐mediated recycling of NADPH is a key antioxidant system against salt‐induced oxidative stress in olive plants

R Valderrama, FJ Corpas, A Carreras… - Plant, Cell & …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
