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 …

Increasing concerns of global climatic change have stimulated research in all aspects of
carbon exchange. This has restored interest in leaf-photosynthetic models to predict and …

In response to a sudden increase in light intensity, plants must cope with absorbed excess
photon energy to protect photosystems from photodamage. Under fluctuating light, PSI is …

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 …

Photosynthetic induction describes the transient increase in leaf CO2 uptake with an
increase in light. During induction, efficiency is lower than at steady state. Under field …

The prospects for genetic manipulation of photosynthesis are assessed with an emphasis on
the biochemical and morphological aspects of light capture. The connection between …

Under field conditions, the leaves of plants are exposed to fluctuating light, as observed in
sunfleck. The duration and frequency of sunfleck, which is caused by the canopy being …

Tropical forests have evolved under relatively narrow temperature regimes, and therefore
may be more susceptible to climatic change than forests in higher latitudes. Recent …
