It has been 75 yr since leaf respiratory metabolism in the light (day respiration) was
identified as a low‐flux metabolic pathway that accompanies photosynthesis. In principle, it …

The global land surface absorbs about a third of anthropogenic emissions each year, due to
the difference between two key processes: ecosystem photosynthesis and respiration …

Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) has been used widely to infer intrinsic water‐use
efficiency (iWUE) of C3 plants, a key parameter linking carbon and water fluxes. Despite the …

Evaluating leaf day respiration rate (RL), which is believed to differ from that in the dark (R
Dk), is essential for predicting global carbon cycles under climate change. Several studies …

Our ability to predict temperature responses of leaf respiration in light and darkness (RL and
R Dk) is essential to models of global carbon dynamics. While many models rely on constant …

Increases in terrestrial water‐use efficiency (WUE) have been reported in many studies,
pointing to potential changes in physiological forcing of global carbon and hydrological …

Day respiration (Rd) is the metabolic, nonphotorespiratory process by which illuminated
leaves liberate CO2 during photosynthesis. Rd is used routinely in photosynthetic models …

Indole alkaloids from Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don were valued for their wide spectrum
of pharmaceutical effects. Their biosynthesis is modulated by various abiotic factors …

The Kok effect refers to the abrupt decrease around the light compensation point in the slope
of net photosynthetic rate vs irradiance. Arguably, this switch arises from light inhibition of …

Quantification of leaf respiration is important for understanding plant physiology and
ecosystem biogeochemical processes. Leaf respiration continues in the light (RL) but …
