Abstract:
... 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-stomatal limitations (NSL) via reduced carboxylation capacity (CAP) and/or mesophyll conductance (MES). Two optimal formulations for stomatal conductance (gₛ) arise from the assumption of each type of NSL. In reality, b ...

Abstract:
... Gross primary productivity (GPP) is a vital ecosystem variable that is used as a proxy to study the functional behaviour of a terrestrial ecosystem and its ability to regulate atmospheric CO₂ by working as a carbon pool. India, having the potential terrestrial ecosystem dynamics to absorb the atmospheric carbon dioxide to some extent, is one of the least-explored regions in terms of carbon monitor ...

Abstract:
... AIM: C₄ grasses are distinct from C₃ grasses, because C₄ grasses respond in a different manner to light, temperature, CO₂ and nitrogen and often have higher resource‐use efficiencies. C₃ and C₄ grasses are typically represented in earth system models (ESMs) by different plant functional types (PFTs). The ability of ESMs to capture C₄ grass biogeography and ecology across differing time periods is ...

Abstract:
... C₄ leaves confine Rubisco to bundle sheath cells. Thus, the size of bundle sheath compartments and the total volume of chloroplasts within them limit the space available for Rubisco. Rubisco activity limits photosynthesis at low temperatures. C₃ plants counter this limitation by increasing leaf Rubisco content, yet few C₄ species do the same. Because C₃ plants usually outperform C₄ plants in chill ...

Abstract:
... Under future climates, leaf temperature (Tₗ) will be higher and more variable. This will affect plant carbon (C) balance because photosynthesis and respiration both respond to short‐term (subdaily) fluctuations in Tₗ and acclimate in the longer term (days to months). This study asks the question: To what extent can the potential and speed of photosynthetic acclimation buffer leaf C gain from risin ...

Evidences indicate that, depending on environmental factors, C4 plants may exhibit a certain degree of flexibility in the use of the decarboxylation mechanisms. In this context, the objective was to extend the knowledge ...

Abstract:
... Photorespiration is indispensable for oxygenic photosynthesis since it detoxifies and recycles 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG), which is the primary oxygenation product of Rubisco. However, C₄ plant species typically display very low rates of photorespiration due to their efficient biochemical carbon-concentrating mechanism. Thus, the broader relevance of photorespiration in these organisms remains uncle ...
