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 …

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 …

Rubisco is a large enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 550 kD. The maximum
rate of CO2 fixation (ie ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate [RuBP] carboxylation) at CO2 saturation …

Silicon (Si) is not considered to be an essential element for higher plants and is believed to
have no effect on primary metabolism in unstressed plants. In rice (O ryza sativa), Si nutrition …

Plant metabolism drives plant development and plant-environment responses, and data
readouts from this cellular level could provide insights in the underlying molecular …

The genus Oryza, which includes rice (Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima) and wild
relatives, is a useful genus to study leaf properties in order to identify structural features that …

Understanding the short‐term responses of mesophyll conductance (gm) and stomatal
conductance (gsc) to environmental changes remains a challenging yet central aspect of …

The partial pressure of CO2 at the sites of carboxylation within chloroplasts depends on the
conductance to CO2 diffusion from intercellular airspace to the sites of carboxylation, termed …

Water deficit (WD) is expected to increase in intensity, frequency and duration in many parts
of the world as a consequence of global change, with potential negative effects on plant gas …

Photosynthesis is limited by the conductance of carbon dioxide (CO2) from intercellular
spaces to the sites of carboxylation. Although the concept of internal conductance (gi) has …
