Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide: plants FACE the future. (2004, background): “In this situation the rate is independent of [CO 2] at all temperatures (66, 118).”
Keeping a positive carbon balance under adverse conditions: responses of photosynthesis and respiration to water stress (2006, methodology): “Using a typical AN–Ci analysis (Long and Bernacchi 2003), the maximum velocity of carboxylation (Vc, max) appeared to be 167 mmol m 2 s 1 in irrigated plants and only 9.5 mmol m 2 s 1 in severely stressed plants showing no net photosynthesis at ambient CO2 and saturating light (Fig.”
Electron transport is the functional limitation of photosynthesis in field-grown Pima cotton plants at high temperature (2004, methodology): “The limiting factor can be assessed using curves representing the response of photosynthesis ( A ) to CO 2 inside the leaf (to avoid stomatal effects) ( C i ). Analysis of A ‐ C i curves has become an important tool for studying photosynthesis characteristics of plants in natural and agronomic situa”
Effects of Drought Stress on Photosynthetic and Physiological Parameters of Tomato (2020, background): “Regarding photosynthesis in leaves, gas exchange index reflects its ‘‘apparent’’ characteristics, while chlorophyll fluorescence reflects its ‘‘intrinsic’’ characteristics (Jiang et al., 2006; Long and Bernacchi, 2003).”
Chlorophyll fluorescence: a probe of photosynthesis in vivo. (2008, background): “Coupling of appropriate fluorescence measurements with other noninvasive techniques, such as absorption spectroscopy (5), gas exchange (76), and thermal imaging (107), can provide insights into the limitations to photosynthesis under given conditions.”
PSII Fluorescence Techniques for Measurement of Drought and High Temperature Stress Signal in Crop Plants: Protocols and Applications (2013, background): “Again combining gas exchange and fluorescence provides a means to determine mesophyll conductance (Long and Bernacchi 2003).”
Rubisco specificity factor tends to be larger in plant species from drier habitats and in species with persistent leaves (2005, background): “Current models of leaf photosynthesis assume constant values among C3 plants ( Long & Bernacchi 2003 ) or derive them indirectly from gas exchange measurements (Bernacchi et al. 2001).”
