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 …

Rapidly changing light conditions can reduce carbon gain and productivity in field crops
because photosynthetic responses to light fluctuations are not instantaneous. Plant …

Plants in natural environments must cope with diverse, highly dynamic, and unpredictable
conditions. They have mechanisms to enhance the capture of light energy when light …

Sunflecks are brief, intermittent periods of high photon flux density (PFD) that can
significantly improve carbon gain in shaded forest understories and lower canopies of trees …

Incident irradiance on plant leaves often fluctuates, causing dynamic photosynthesis.
Whereas steady-state photosynthetic responses to environmental factors have been …

The dynamics of leaf photosynthesis in fluctuating light affects carbon gain by plants.
Mesophyll conductance (gm) limits CO2 assimilation rate (A) under the steady state, but the …

We examined in the field the photosynthetic utilization of fluctuating light by six neotropical
rainforest shrubs of the family Rubiaceae. They were growing in three different light …

In nature, light availability for photosynthesis can undergo massive changes on a very short
timescale. Photosynthesis in such dynamic light environments requires that plants can …

A major goal of investigations of heterogeneity of light environments is an understanding of
the role of light availability in species diversity and forest regeneration. Integration of the role …
