While interest in photosynthetic thermal acclimation has been stimulated by climate
warming, comparing results across studies requires consistent terminology. We identify five …

It has been 75 yr since leaf respiratory metabolism in the light (day respiration) was
identified as a low‐flux metabolic pathway that accompanies photosynthesis. In principle, it …

CO2 release in the light (RL) and its presumed source, oxidative pentose phosphate
pathways, were found to be insensitive to CO2 concentration. The oxidative pentose …

Over the past few years, three photorespiratory bypasses have been introduced into plants,
two of which led to observable increases in photosynthesis and biomass yield. However …

Leaf dark respiration (Rdark) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global
carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new global database of Rdark and associated leaf …

Background Around the world, the frequency and intensity of droughts is increasing as a
result of global climate change, with important consequences for the growth and survival of …

Simulations of photosynthesis by terrestrial biosphere models typically need a specification
of the maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax). Estimating this parameter using A–Ci curves …

Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzes a reversible NAD+-dependent-dehydrogenase
reaction involved in central metabolism and redox homeostasis between organelle …

WUEi (intrinsic water use efficiency) is a complex (multi)-trait, that depends on several
physiological processes, driving plant productivity and its relation with a changing …

Our study assessed the impact of a wide range of industrial‐age climate scenarios on leaf
respiration (R) in Eucalyptus saligna.• Well‐watered or sustained drought‐treated plants …
