Improved understanding of crop production systems in relation to N‐supply has come from a
knowledge of basic plant biochemistry and physiology. Gene expression leads to protein …

Nitrogen (N) is the most important, essential nutrient for all living organisms on earth; it is
present in a number of complex organic molecules and plays extremely important roles in …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) represents a suite of intercorrelated leaf traits
concerning construction costs per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of carbon …

The impact of some macro (Ca, S, Mg, K, N, P) and micro (Fe) nutrients deficiency on the
functioning of the photosynthetic machinery in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and maize …

The photosynthetic capacity of leaves is related to the nitrogen content primarily bacause the
proteins of the Calvin cycle and thylakoids represent the majority of leaf nitrogen. To a first …

Water, the most important component of life, is rapidly becoming a critically short commodity
for humans and crop production. Limited water supply is one of the major abiotic factors that …

ABSTRACT A process‐based leaf gas exchange model for C3 plants was developed which
specifically describes the effects observed along light gradients of shifting nitrogen …

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a deep-rooted crop which can tolerate water stress and
can be grown in rotation with other crop species. Nitrogen is very important for the growth …

ABSTRACT A model of leaf photosynthesis of C3, plants has been developed to describe
their nitrogen economy. In this model, photosynthetic proteins are categorized into five …

The responses of photosynthetic gas exchange and Chi fluorescence to nitrogen nutrition
were studied under well-watered and drought conditions in winter wheat leaves. Nitrogen …
