See maternal-[CO2] effects on rice reported in doi.org/10.1016/j.onee…. The effects were also shown to be in opposite directions between genotypes. So, projecting e[CO2] effects on global crop production is not as simple as the previously thought.

The value of the FvCB model is not only for prediction but also for various physiological analyses. Here is an update on the application of this model for analysing the relative limitations to leaf photosynthesis (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pp…). @PPLplantarum

Great to read this Reflection of the landmark, so-called FvCB, model on photosynthesis!

Just came across this paper "Dual-cycle CO2 fixation enhances growth and lipid synthesis..." science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Herewith I'd share a paper that reports a synthesis of old data from 8-yr's canopy gas exchange measurements on wheat in response to heat and drought (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…). @PlantCellEnvir

Just saw this nice Reflection (doi: 10.1007/s00425-025-04761-7)! It starts with "Modern gas exchange is often attributed to the work of Gaastra (1959) who made first measurements...". But that 1959 paper is missing in the ref list. For those interested: library.wur.nl/WebQuery/wurpu…

Need a complicated model to predict dynamic photosynthesis in response to elevated CO2 and temperature? Evidence from measuring T-FACE grown rice plants suggests that the answer is "No" if we just predict cumulative CO2 assimilated during lightfleck(s). doi.org/10.1093/jxb/er…

Carbon‐positive photorespiratory bypass via the tartronyl‐coenzyme A pathway enhances carbon fixation efficiency and yield in rice onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb…

Just came across an interesting study on the photosynthetic plasticity in a plant that exhibits C3-like traits underwater and C4-like traits on land. doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

Leaf & canopy N are often used in crop models to predict photosynthesis and yield. They can be retrieved from hyperspectral features. Is there a best strategy for it? We compared the results using different feature sets, algorithms, and prediction pathways doi.org/10.1016/j.comp…

Many proposals have been put forward to improve photosynthesis for boosting crop yield. But "After photosynthesis, what then"? Here is a Loomis Review by Jeff Amthor on importance of respiration to crop productivity (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…).

The time to revise a stoichiometric coefficient from 3 to 4 in the FvCB model for TPU-limited photosynthesis! academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…, which also shows that if TPU limits, mesophyll conductance should not be increased, but decreased, to improve photosynthesis @JXBot @Zhenxiang92

13-years’ data involving multiple wheat genotypes, analysed by our model method, reveal new insights into post-anthesis source-sink relations in response to multiple abiotic stress. @JXBot; @LiangFANGG; @MartrePierre academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

The PEP-CK subtype, as classically defined, should have the highest C4 quantum yield (QY), and is potentially valuable resources for improving crops. However, why reported QY are not higher in PEP-CK plants than in the crop-C4 type? See our paper @NewPhyt: doi.org/10.1111/nph.19…

Here is the opening of three PhD positions within @cropxr to address potato resilience to stress. Candidates interested in using combined experimental and crop sensing or modelling approaches are encouraged to apply...
