Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral
molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins …

Under natural conditions, plants constantly encounter various biotic and abiotic factors,
which can potentially restrict plant growth and development and even limit crop productivity …

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 world's crop productivity is stagnating whereas population growth, rising affluence, and
mandates for biofuels put increasing demands on agriculture. Meanwhile, demand for …

Plant growth and development are dependent on tight regulation of water movement. Water
diffusion across cell membranes is facilitated by aquaporins that provide plants with the …

The intricate and interconnecting reactions of C3 photosynthesis are often limited by one of
two fundamental processes: the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy, or the …

Wheat provides 20% of calories and protein consumed by humans. Recent genetic gains
are< 1% per annum (pa), insufficient to meet future demand. The Wheat Yield Consortium …

Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO2 is a key photosynthetic trait that has been studied
intensively in the past years. The intention of the present review is to update knowledge of …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Photosynthesis is the basis of plant growth, and improving photosynthesis can contribute
toward greater food security in the coming decades as world population increases. Multiple …
