Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13 C) of terrestrial plants are employed across a diverse
range of applications in environmental and plant sciences; however, the kind of information …

Rapidly changing light conditions can reduce carbon gain and productivity in field crops
because photosynthetic responses to light fluctuations are not instantaneous. Plant …

Rubisco catalyses a rate-limiting step in photosynthesis and has long been a target for
improvement due to its slow turnover rate. An alternative to modifying catalytic properties of …

In the challenge to increase photosynthetic rate per leaf area mathematical models of
photosynthesis can be used to help interpret gas exchange measurements made under …

Improving photosynthetic efficiency has recently emerged as a promising way to increase
crop production in a sustainable manner. While chloroplast size may affect photosynthetic …

C4 photosynthesis evolved multiple times independently from ancestral C3 photosynthesis
in a broad range of flowering land plant families and in both monocots and dicots. The …

Although improving photosynthetic efficiency is widely recognized as an underutilized
strategy to increase crop yields, research in this area is strongly biased towards species with …

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the publication of the landmark model by
Farquhar, von Caemmerer & Berry on steady‐state C3 photosynthesis (known as the “FvCB …

Photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination is a non-destructive tool for investigating C4
metabolism. Tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy provides new opportunities for …

Electron flux from water via photosystem II (PSII) and PSI to oxygen (water–water cycle) may
provide a mechanism for dissipation of excess excitation energy in leaves when CO2 …
