Photosynthesis is an important remaining opportunity for further improvement in the genetic
yield potential of our major crops. Measurement, analysis, and improvement of leaf CO2 …

The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and external atmosphere is governed by
stomatal conductance (gs); therefore, stomata play a critical role in photosynthesis and …

The non-protein amino acid γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been proposed to be an
ancient messenger for cellular communication conserved across biological kingdoms. GABA …

The sunlight received by plants is affected by cloudiness and pollution. Future changes in
cloud cover will differ among regions, while aerosol concentrations are expected to continue …

Stomata, the microscopic pores surrounded by a pair of guard cells on the surfaces of leaves
and stems, play an essential role in regulating the gas exchange between a plant and the …

The regulation of stomatal aperture opening and closure represents an evolutionary battle
between plants and pathogens, characterized by adaptive strategies that influence both …

Raising temperature and increased drought events induced by a changing climate have
increased the need for efficient use of natural resources and energy supplies. Producing …

Plants often encounter unfavorable environmental conditions because of their sessile
lifestyle. These adverse factors greatly affect the geographic distribution of plants, as well as …

Drought is one of the abiotic stresses which impairs the plant growth/development and
restricts the yield of many crops throughout the world. Stomatal closure is a common …

Indoor plant cultivation can result in significantly improved resource use efficiency (surface,
water, and nutrients) as compared to traditional growing systems, but illumination costs are …
