Cereals such as maize, rice, wheat and sorghum are the most important crops for human
nutrition. Like other plants, cereals associate with diverse bacteria (including nitrogen-fixing …

For seed crops, yield is the cumulative result of both source and sink strength for
photoassimilates and nutrients over the course of seed development. Source strength for …

Main conclusion The regulation of source-to-sink sucrose transport is associated with AtSUC
and AtSWEET sucrose transporters' gene expression changes in plants grown …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) significantly influences plant
growth, development, and biomass. Increased photosynthesis rate, together with lower …

The coordinated distribution of nitrogen to source leaves and sinks is essential for
supporting leaf metabolism while also supplying sufficient nitrogen to seeds for …

Transgenic maize (Zea mays) that expresses rice (Oryza sativa) TREHALOSE PHOSPHATE
PHOSPHATASE1 (TPP1) from the rice MADS6 promoter, which is active over the flowering …

Plant acclimation to growth light environment has been studied extensively; however, the
majority of these studies have focused on light intensity and photo-acclimation, with few …

Nitrogen (N) availability is an essential factor for plant growth. Recycling and remobilization
of N have strong impacts on crop yield and quality under N deficiency. Autophagy is a critical …

Abstract Ribulose‐1, 5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the most
widespread carboxylating enzyme in autotrophic organisms. Its kinetic and structural …

Background Photosynthesis underpins plant productivity and yet is notoriously sensitive to
small changes in environmental conditions, meaning that quantitation in nature across …
