Open AccessRubisco deactivation and chloroplast electron transport rates co-limit photosynthesis above optimal leaf temperature in terrestrial plants
Net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate (An) decreases at leaf temperatures above a relatively mild optimum (Topt) in most higher plants. This decline is often attributed to reduced CO2 conductance, increased CO

Open AccessPhotosynthetic traits of Australian wild rice (Oryza australiensis) confer tolerance to extreme daytime temperatures
A wild relative of rice from the Australian savannah was compared with cultivated rice, revealing thermotolerance in growth and photosynthetic processes and a more robust carbon economy in extreme heat.

Open AccessThe combination of gas-phase fluorophore technology and automation to enable high-throughput analysis of plant respiration
Mitochondrial respiration in the dark (R dark) is a critical plant physiological process, and hence a reliable, efficient and high-throughput method of measuring variation in rates of R

The Impact of Heat Stress on the Proteome of Crop Species
impairs plant growth and reproduction. A future climate where more extreme heating events are accompanied by drought and higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations will exacerbate heat stress considering such facto...
