Effect of fertilizer application on photosynthesis and oil yield of Jatropha curcas L. (2010, background): “With more N sources added to the plant, there is an increased N availability for biological functions thus promoting higher photosynthetic efficiency (Millard 1988, Evans 1989).”
Correlations between leaf structural traits and the densities of herbivorous insect guilds (2002, background): “Positive correlations have also been found between leaf nitrogen content and photosyn- thetic rate (Mooney & Gulmon, 1982; Evans, 1989; Reich et al., 1991, 1992; Wright et al., 2001) and leaf mechanical properties have been correlated with leaf constituents (Peeters, 2001) and leaf structure…”
Tolerance vs. avoidance: two strategies of soybean (Glycine max) seedlings in response to shade in intercropping (2015, positive): “Besides total Chl content, Chl a/b serves as another characteristic for sun and shade leaves (Boardman 1977, Anderson 1986), since the light-harvesting complex of PSII contains majority of Chl b (Evans 1989); thus, accumulation of LHCII causes decline of the Chl a/b ratio under shade condition.”
Root production is determined by radiation flux in a temperate grassland community (2004, background): “Vc max is generally well correlated with leaf N (Evans, 1989), so it is likely that leaf N concentration was higher in shaded plants.”
Divergent patterns of photosynthetic phosphorus‐use efficiency versus nitrogen‐use efficiency of tree leaves along nutrient‐availability gradients (2009, background): “Numerous studies have established that the maximum photosynthetic carbon assimilation rate (hereafter, Amax) positively correlates with foliar N concentrations (Field & Mooney 1986; Evans 1989; Wright et al. 2004).”
Allocation of nitrogen to cell walls decreases photosynthetic nitrogen‐use efficiency (2004, background): “Consequently, photosynthetic capacity correlates strongly with leaf N concentration (Field & Mooney 1986; Evans 1989).”
Trade-offs in interspecific comparisons in plant ecology and how plants overcome proposed constraints (2016, background): “Evans (1989) also brought together the then recent studies on the specific activity of RuBPCase extracted from pairs of species under standardised conditions; those experiments had shown how the specific activity could be 1.2–1.9 times greater in one species than another.”
Applications of chlorophyll fluorescence can improve crop production strategies: an examination of future possibilities. (2004, background): “For many species, a strong correlation exists between total leaf nitrogen and CO2 assimilation at high irradiance (Evans, 1989), consequently, fluorescence is an obvious method to probe nitrogen status.”
Genetic enrichment of cereal crops via alien gene transfer: New challenges (2001, background): “Ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) is a key enzyme for photosynthesis and one of the most abundant proteins in the leaf, accounting for 15 to 35% of total leaf nitrogen in C3 species (Evans, 1989).”
Growth Environment and Leaf Anatomy Affect Nondestructive Estimates of Chlorophyll and Nitrogen in Citrus sp. Leaves (2005, background): “…soluble proteins (of which Calvin Cycle components account for a large proportion) and the pigment-protein/reaction center complexes of thylakoids (of which light absorption by chlorophyll depends), which vary with N supply and canopy light environment (Evans, 1989; Evans and Poorter, 2001).”
Altitudinal variation in leaf mass per unit area, leaf tissue density and foliar nitrogen and phosphorus content along an Amazon-Andes gradient in Peru (2009, background): “Nitrogen content is therefore generally correlated with photosynthetic capacity (Field and Mooney 1986 ; Evans 1989 ).”
The mathematics of linked optimisation for water and nitrogen use in a canopy (2002, background): “Furthermore, the nitrogen dependencies of these two phases are quantitatively different, even when light is saturating (Evans 1983, Evans 1989).”
