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 …

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 …

Wi 93 III. Determinants of the rapidity of gs responses 95 IV. Conclusion 97 …

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 …

Gas exchange measurements enable mechanistic insights into the processes that underpin
carbon and water fluxes in plant leaves which in turn inform understanding of related …

The intricate and interconnecting reactions of C3 photosynthesis are often limited by one of
two fundamental processes: the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy, or the …

The acquisition of stomata is one of the key innovations that led to the colonisation of the
terrestrial environment by the earliest land plants. However, our understanding of the origin …

Stomatal guard cells are widely recognized as the premier plant cell model for membrane
transport, signaling, and homeostasis. This recognition is rooted in half a century of research …

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 …
