With the global climate anomalies and the destruction of ecological balance, the water
shortage has become a serious ecological problem facing all mankind, and drought has …

The soil contributes to the main pool of crucial mineral nutrients for plant growth. These
essential nutrients play an important role in the formation of plant biomolecules, perform …

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 …

Abstract Trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P), the intermediate of trehalose biosynthesis, is an
essential signal metabolite in plants, linking growth and development to carbon status. The …

Cultivated potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), domesticated from wild Solanum species
native to the Andes of southern Peru, possess a diverse gene pool representing more than …

Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

The year 2024 marks 70 years since the general outline of the carbon pathway in
photosynthesis was published. Although several alternative pathways are now known, it is …

To understand the underlying mechanism for plasticity in root to shoot ratio (R/S) in
response to drought stress, two rice cultivars, Zhenshan97 (drought susceptible) and …

Experimental studies on CO2 assimilation of mesophytic C3 plants in relation to relative
water content (RWC) are discussed. Decreasing RWC slows the actual rate of …

Background Water deficit (WD) decreases photosynthetic rate (A) via decreased stomatal
conductance to CO2 (gs) and photosynthetic metabolic potential (A pot). The relative …
