Wild edible plant species (WEPs) are sources of food, nutrition, and medicine to people.
However, often, the nutritional value of WEPs is unknown. This study was conducted to …

Photosynthesis is limited by three main factors: stomatal conductance (gs), mesophyll
conductance (gm) and maximum capacity for Rubisco carboxylation (V cmax). It is unclear …

The study centers on the valorization of Beta macrocarpa Guss., an endangered
Mediterranean wild plant that grows in Tunisia. This plant is disappearing due to a reduction …

Global warming is raising concerns about the acclimatory capacity of trees and forests,
especially in Mediterranean-type ecosystems. The sensitivity of photosynthesis to …

Lemon (Citrus limon) is a fruit tree with major agricultural importance around the
Mediterranean basin and is considered to be highly drought resistant. In this study, we …

Stomata play a central role in regulating the exchange of carbon dioxide and water vapor
between ecosystems and the atmosphere. Their function is represented in land surface …

Drought is a major threat to food security worldwide, and drought-tolerant plants are a
convenient model to study the mechanisms underlying drought tolerance. Some of the …

Abstract Key message Desert Acacia trees photosynthesize during the hot dry summer, and
use stored carbon for summer growth. Trees that grow in hyper-arid environments can …

Introduction The identification of the physiological processes limiting carbon assimilation
under water stress is crucial for improving model predictions and selecting drought-tolerant …

Soil water stress is one of the main constraints on agrosystem functioning, causing a
reduction in gross primary production (GPP). It is a key factor for the selection of drought …
