Photorespiration and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis. (2012, background): “Many of these responses occurred in the physiology of plants, reflecting the direct impact of CO2, temperature, humidity, and water availability on photosynthesis (43, 48, 116).”
Modeling plant–water interactions: an ecohydrological overview from the cell to the global scale (2016, background): “Stomatal size and density and leaf venation have been recognized to be important for plant functioning and evolution.(20,74,75) At the same time, the bulk of the resistance to water transport in the leaf occurs outside the venation network.”
Evolutionary Legacy Effects on Ecosystems: Biogeographic Origins, Plant Traits, and Implications for Management in the Era of Global Change (2016, background): “Vein (Brodribb & Feild 2010) and stomatal (Franks & Beerling 2009) densities increased dramatically in angiosperms from the Middle to Late Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) and diversified as atmospheric [CO2] declined (Supplemental Figure 1).”
Sap flow and sugar transport in plants (2016, background): “This is remarkable given that stomata pores frequently cover only 1%–10% of the leaf surface (Franks and Beerling, 2009).”
Species-specific water use by forest tree species: from the tree to the stand (2012, background): “The need of controlling water losses by a fine tuning of leaf stomatal regulation has been, as in other kind of plants, one of the most important selective forces of evolution of forest tree species (Franks and Beerling, 2009; Lawson et al., 2011).”
Review: the interaction between rootstocks and cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) to enhance drought tolerance in grapevine (2014, methodology): “maximum stomatal conductance (Franks and Beerling 2009).”
Variation of stomatal traits from cold-temperate to tropical forests and association with water use efficiency (2018, neutral): “Theoretically, a higher gmax should benefit species under low CO2, higher irradiance or nutrient supply, or under selection for high productivity or competition (Franks & Beerling, 2009; Taylor et al., 2012).”
