    Rubisco 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

    Photosynthetic 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.

    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...
