Photosynthesis is an important remaining opportunity for further improvement in the genetic
yield potential of our major crops. Measurement, analysis, and improvement of leaf CO2 …

As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel cropping systems will likely face …

The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and external atmosphere is governed by
stomatal conductance (gs); therefore, stomata play a critical role in photosynthesis and …

Photosynthesis is a process that has got immense importance due to its unique role in
sustaining life on earth. Exposure to various biotic and abiotic stresses adversely affects the …

Polyploidy, defined as the coexistence of three or more complete sets of chromosomes in an
organism's cells, is considered as a pivotal moving force in the evolutionary history of …

Plants experience changes in light intensity and quality due to variations in solar angle and
shading from clouds and overlapping leaves. Stomatal opening to increasing irradiance is …

Photosynthesis is currently a focus for crop improvement. The majority of this work has taken
place and been assessed in leaves, and limited consideration has been given to the …

Increased periods of water shortage and higher temperatures, together with a reduction in
nutrient availability, have been proposed as major factors that negatively impact plant …

Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

Increasing the speed of breeding to enhance crop productivity and adaptation to abiotic
stresses is urgently needed. The perception that a second Green Revolution should be …
