Carbon fixation is the process by which CO2 is converted from a gas into biomass. The
Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle (CBB) is the dominant carbon-consuming pathway on …

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 …

Photorespiration is an essential process juxtaposed between plant carbon and nitrogen
metabolism that responds to dynamic environments. Photorespiration recycles inhibitory …

Many eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms enhance their carbon uptake by supplying
concentrated CO2 to the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco in an organelle called the pyrenoid …

▪ Abstract The primary effect of the response of plants to rising atmospheric CO2 (Ca) is to
increase resource use efficiency. Elevated Ca reduces stomatal conductance and …

Past increases in yield potential of wheat have largely resulted from improvements in
harvest index rather than increased biomass. Further large increases in harvest index are …

Abstract Changes in specific leaf area (SLA, projected leaf area per unit leaf dry mass) and
nitrogen partitioning between proteins within leaves occur during the acclimation of plants to …

Predicting the environmental responses of leaf photosynthesis is central to many models of
changes in the future global carbon cycle and terrestrial biosphere. The steady‐state …

Increasing concerns of global climatic change have stimulated research in all aspects of
carbon exchange. This has restored interest in leaf-photosynthetic models to predict and …

In big‐leaf models of canopy photosynthesis, the Rubisco activity per unit ground area is
taken as the sum of activities per unit leaf area within the canopy, and electron transport …
