Phragmites australis is a cosmopolitan grass and often the dominant species in the
ecosystems it inhabits. Due to high intraspecific diversity and phenotypic plasticity, P …

The photosynthetic capacity of leaves is determined by their content of nitrogen (N). Nitrogen
involved in photosynthesis is divided between soluble proteins and thylakoid membrane …

Current understanding of selenium (Se) nanoparticles (SeNPs) effects on growth of C 4
cereals is deeply scarce, and thus a hydroponic experiment was conducted to explore the …

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 …

Many carbon‐fixing organisms have evolved CO2 concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to
enhance the delivery of CO2 to RuBisCO, while minimizing reactions with the competitive …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) has evolved from a C3 ground state to increase water
use efficiency of photosynthesis. During CAM evolution, selective pressures altered the …

Southwest Asia is climatically and topographically a highly diverse region in the xeric belt of
the Old World. Its diversity of arid habitats and climatic conditions acted as an important area …

Accumulation of arsenic in plant tissues poses a substantial threat to global crop yields. The
use of plant growth-promoting bacterial strains to mitigate heavy metal toxicity has been …

As an adaptation to changing climatic conditions that caused high rates of photorespiration,
C4 plants have evolved to display higher photosynthetic efficiency than C3 plants under …

The quantification of stability parameters resulted from an investigation into the five
genotypes/varieties of the seven palmarosa attributes. The palmarosa's essential oil yields …
