ABSTRACT A common, long‐held belief is that metabolic rate drives the rates of various
biological, ecological and evolutionary processes. Although this metabolic pacemaker view …

The present review of gas-exchange studies conducted in rainfed or irrigated field
conditions clearly indicates that stomatal conductance (gs) of major crops has been …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the significance of blue light (B) in the growth and
photosynthetic capacity of cucumber. Gas exchange, chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence kinetics …

Accurate modelling of drought‐induced mortality is challenging. A steady‐state model is
presented integrating xylem and phloem transport, leaf‐level gas exchange and plant …

Background Camelina sativa is an oilseed crop with great potential for biofuel production on
marginal land. The seed oil from camelina has been converted to jet fuel and improved fuel …

Supplementary lighting is frequently applied in the winter season for crop production in
greenhouses. The effect of supplementary lighting on plant growth depends on the balance …

Leaf photosynthetic CO2 responses can provide insight into how major nutrients, such as
phosphorus (P), constrain leaf CO2 assimilation rates (Anet). However, triose‐phosphate …

Drought stress conditions modify source–sink relations, thereby influencing plant growth,
adaptive responses, and consequently crop yield. Invertases are key metabolic enzymes …

Regulation of photosynthetic electron transport at different levels of structural and functional
organization of photosynthetic apparatus provides efficient performance of oxygenic …

Photosynthetic modulation by sugars has been known for many years, but the biochemical
and molecular comprehension of this process is lacking. We studied how the exogenous …
