Impaired carbon metabolism and reproductive development constrain crop productivity
during heat stress. Reproductive development is energy intensive, and its requirement for …

Medical imaging techniques are rapidly expanding in the field of plant sciences. Positron
emission tomography (PET) is advancing as a powerful functional imaging technique to …

Water availability influences all aspects of plant growth and development; however, most
studies of plant responses to drought have focused on vegetative organs, notably roots and …

Reassimilation of internal CO 2 via woody tissue photosynthesis has a substantial effect on
tree carbon income and wood production. However, little is known about its role in xylem …

Drought-induced tree stress has gained increasing interest because of the recent coupling
between forest decline and global change associated droughts (Allen et al., 2010; Anderegg …

A substantial portion of locally respired CO2 in stems can be assimilated by chloroplast‐
containing tissues. Woody tissue photosynthesis (Pwt) therefore plays a major role in the …

Photosynthesis in woody tissues (Pwt) is less sensitive to water shortage than in leaves,
hence, Pwt might be a crucial carbon source to alleviate drought stress. To evaluate the …

Leaves are the most important photosynthetic organs in most woody plants, but chloroplasts
are also found in organs optimized for other functions. However, the actual photosynthetic …

Isoprene and other plastidial isoprenoids are produced primarily from recently assimilated
photosynthates via the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway. However, when …

C1 metabolism in plants is known to be involved in photorespiration, nitrogen and amino
acid metabolism, as well as methylation and biosynthesis of metabolites and biopolymers …
