▪ Abstract Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS; EC 2.4. 1.14) is the plant enzyme thought to
play a major role in sucrose biosynthesis. In photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic tissues …

A review of the involvement of carbon assimilation and respiration in the primary
assimilation of nitrogen, and the effects of nitrogen assimilation on the rate and route of …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element determining plants' growth and productivity. Due to
soil fixation of P, its availability in soil is rarely sufficient for optimum growth and …

Water deficits cause a reduction in the rate of photosynthesis. Exposure to mild water
deficits, when relative water content (RWC) remains above 70%, primarily causes limitation …

Experiments are described in which tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) transformed with
antisense rbcS to decrease expression of ribulose‐1, 5‐bisphosphate carboxylase …

A review of the diurnal regulation of C3 photosynthesis with particular emphasis on the
interactions between the component processes. Organization and regulation of the Calvin …

Plants have evolved strategies to tightly regulate metabolism during acclimation to a
changing environment. Low temperature significantly constrains distribution, growth and …

This study was undertaken to determine the role of sucrose-metabolizing enzymes in altered
carbohydrate partitioning caused by heat stress. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes …

Mature source leaves of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) plants growing hydroponically in a 9
h light (350 μmol photons· m− 2· s− 1)/15 h dark cycle at 20° C in a climate chamber were …

Atmospheric CO 2 concentration [CO 2] has increased from 260 to 280 μmol mol− 1 (level
during crop domestication up to the industrial revolution) to currently 400 and will reach 550 …
