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 …

Crop yields need to be improved in a sustainable manner to meet the expected worldwide
increase in population over the coming decades as well as the effects of anticipated climate …

Photosynthesis is central to life on Earth, employing sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to
produce chemical energy and oxygen. It is generally accepted that boosting its efficiency …

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 ratio of plant carbon gain to water use, known as water use efficiency (WUE), has long
been recognized as a key constraint on crop production and an important target for crop …

In the past, there have been drought events in different parts of the world, which have
negatively influenced the productivity and production of various crops including wheat …

Plants experience changes in light intensity and quality due to variations in solar angle and
shading from clouds and overlap** leaves. Stomatal opening to increasing irradiance is …

Fertilizers are indispensable agri-inputs to accomplish the growing food demand. The
injudicious use of conventional fertilizer products has resulted in several environmental and …

Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

The efficiency with which plants use nutrients to create biomass and/or grain is determined
by the interaction of environmental and plant intrinsic factors. The major macronutrients …
