Variability of water use efficiency in grapevines (2014, background): “Whole-plant photosynthesis could be improved by increasing total leaf area (Long et al., 2006; Sharma-Natu and Ghildiyal, 2005), although there is a clear limitation for grapevines.”
Improving water use efficiency in grapevines: potential physiological targets for biotechnological improvement. (2010, background): “…alternative oxidase (AOX, Florez-Sarasa et al. 2007), and this pathway does not contribute to ATP synthesis and growth, it has been suggested that reducing AOX could result in significant increases of plant carbon balance and WUE (Loomis and Amthor 1999; Sharma-Natu and Ghildiyal 2005).”
Regulation of Transpiration to Improve Crop Water Use (2009, background): “Recent reviews detail how crop yield has been improved by genetic traits that enhance photosynthetic efficiency, nitrogen assimilation, seed yield, source-sink balance, and radiation use efficiency (Sinclair et al., 2004; Sharma-Natu and Ghildiyal, 2005; Long et al., 2006; Zhu et al., 2008).”
