Ecosystems integrity and services are threatened by anthropogenic global changes.
Mitigating and adapting to these changes require knowledge of ecosystem functioning in the …

Circadian regulation is an endogenous self-sustaining mechanism that drives temporal
gene expression and, amongst others, affects the diurnal patterns of photosynthesis (A) and …

Photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (gs) change diurnally due to internal signals,
but the effects of diurnal rhythms on dynamic photosynthetic behavior are understudied. We …

The primary function of stomata is to minimize plant water loss while maintaining CO2
assimilation. Stomatal water loss incurs an indirect cost to photosynthesis in the form of non …

Dear Sir, The uptake of carbon dioxide through the stomata inexorably leads to
transpirational water losses, and evolutionary theories hold that plants balance this trade-off …

Tree trunks not only provide physical support for canopy leaves but also supply and store
water for transpiration. However, the relationships between trunk hydraulic properties and …

Comprender la variación genética adaptativa es clave para predecir la respuesta evolutiva
de especies y poblaciones al cambio climático, lo que influye de manera decisiva en la …

Intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) is an important leaf trait that can influence crop
productivity. This PhD project aimed to identify leaf morphological and functional traits that …

Global food security represents a major challenge for modern agriculture, particularly within
the context of climate change. In addition, pressure is increasing on available water …

Here, we review data of nocturnal time courses in both leaf respiratory O2-uptake and CO2-
efflux to look for patterns that may provide insight into underlying mechanisms. We show that …
