The rise of grasses using C 4 photosynthesis and dominating grasslands during the latest
Cenozoic is one of the most dramatic events in Earth's history. A growing body of geological …

Climate change and global warming are the foremost anthropogenically accelerated
catastrophes that are already causing world-wide challenges, but threaten to thwart global …

We compared how stomatal morphology and physiology control intrinsic leaf water use
efficiency (iWUE) in two C3 and six C4 grasses grown at ambient (400 µmol mol–1) or …

Forage grasses are central feed resources for livestock globally. In Ethiopian dairy systems,
they serve as feed sources during both wet and dry seasons, yet escalating climate change …

Abstract Elevated [CO2](eCO2) and water stress reduce leaf stomatal conductance (gs),
which may affect leaf thermoregulation during heat waves (heat stress). Two sorghum lines …

Abstract Chlorophyll (Chl) content, especially Chl b content, and stomatal conductance (G s)
are the key factors affecting the net photosynthetic rate (P n). Setaria italica, a diploid C 4 …

Leaf hydraulic and mesophyll CO2 conductance are both influenced by leaf anatomical
traits, however it is poorly understood how the temperature response of these conductances …

Plant adaptation to salinity is a highly multifaceted process, harnessing various
physiological mechanisms depending on the severity and duration of salt stress. This study …

Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among
C3 grasses, a high photosynthetic rate (A area) may depend on higher vein density (D v) …

The effects of climate change on plants and ecosystems are mediated by plant hydraulic
traits, including interspecific and intraspecific variability of trait phenotypes. Yet, integrative …
