Phenoty** photosynthetic capacity for crop improvement
This topic article collection is open to studies that contribute to the understanding of photosynthetic capacity at organ, whole-plant and canopy level and its implication in crop improvement and stress tolerance.

Rubén Vicente
Dr. Vicente is Principal Investigator at Universidade Nova de Lisboa and leads the Plant Ecophysiology and Metabolism Laboratory. His primary research interests include plant responses to abiotic stresses and how these relate to food security. The understanding of climate change effects (high temperatures, water/salt stress, nutrient deficiencies, elevated CO2, etc.) on crop performance and the genetic advance, diversity, variability and grain quality evolution is still limited and would be useful for the design of future breeding programs.

José Luis Araus
Prof. Araus is Full Professor of Plant Physiology at the University of Barcelona (1993) and Professor ICREA Academia from the Government of Catalonia (2013). He is PI of several international projects (EU and elsewhere) and co-author on near 200 publications in SCI and SSCI Journals, with h-index (Google Scholar) of 54. His current research interests involve the ecophysiological and metabolic mechanisms of plant response to abiotic stresses that will help to increase the yield and adaptation of Mediterranean crops.
