Prospects for crop production under drought: research priorities and future directions (2005, background): “This may be actually difficult because improving wateruse efficiency is usually accompanied by decreased photosynthesis (Flexas et al., 2004a) and yield (Condon et al., 2004).”
Advances in Drought Resistance of Rice (2009, background): “This may be difficult because improving water-use efficiency is usually accompanied by decreased photosynthesis ( Flexas et al. , 2004 ) and yield ( Condon et al.”
Keeping a positive carbon balance under adverse conditions: responses of photosynthesis and respiration to water stress (2006, background): “The variability of mesophyll conductance impairs the traditional use of photosynthesis responses to substomatal CO2 concentration (AN–Ci curves) as a tool to evaluate the incidence of metabolic impairment under water stress conditions (Flexas et al. 2004a).”
Deficit irrigation in grapevine improves water‐use efficiency while controlling vigour and production quality (2007, background): “With enhanced pressure on water resources, the increasing demand for vineyard irrigation will only be met if there is an improvement in the efficiency of water use (Davies et al., 2002; Chaves & Oliveira, 2004; Flexas et al., 2004; Cifre et al., 2005; Souza et al., 2005a).”
ALLEVIATION OF DROUGHT-INDUCED ADVERSE EFFECTS IN SPRING WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) USING PROLINE AS A PRE-SOWING SEED TREATMENT (2009, background): “It is now well evident that reduction in photosynthetic rate occurs due to stomatal closure under water deficit conditions which may limit CO2 diffusion into the leaves (Flexas et al., 2004; Athar & Ashraf, 2005).”
Response of leaf respiration to water stress in Mediterranean species with different growth forms (2007, methodology): “The regulation of photosynthesis by drought has been extensively studied and debated (Hsiao, 1973; Boyer, 1976; Chaves, 1991; Lawlor, 1995; Cornic and Massacci, 1996; Flexas and Medrano, 2002; Lawlor and Cornic, 2002; Flexas et al., 2004a).”
Variability in water use efficiency at the leaf level among Mediterranean plants with different growth forms (2009, methodology): “2), as was previously shown for in situ measured plants under Mediterranean conditions (Flexas et al. 2004).”
Modelling C3 and C4 photosynthesis under water-stressed conditions (2008, background): “…water potentials the main limitation to assimilation rate is diffusive, while, as water stress progresses, the metabolic limitation becomes more and more relevant, in agreement with several experimental observations (e.g., Flexas et al. 2004b; Grassi and Magnani 2005; Kaiser 1987; Lawlor 2002).”
Photoprotection processes under water stress and recovery in Mediterranean plants with different growth forms and leaf habits (2007, background): “…stomatal closure Despite the observed differences between species in photoprotection and photoinhibition response to water stress, they all respond to a general pattern described for C3 plants when gs is used as a reference for water stress intensity (Flexas and Medrano 2002, Flexas et al. 2004).”
Facilitation of Quercus ilex in Mediterranean shrubland is explained by both direct and indirect interactions mediated by herbs (2010, background): “The Fv ⁄Fm ratio is a good indicator of plant photoinhibition caused by stress factors such as drought, high radiation and frost (Maxwell & Johnson 2000), whereas w is a measure of the water status of plants (Flexas et al. 2004).”
Factors impacting on the microbiological quality and safety of processed hake (2010, unknown): “However, we noticed that most of the previous reports focused on transgenic plants responses to oxidative stress during stressful conditions, and less has been done about the capacity of recovery from drought (Flexas et al., 2004).”
Exogenously applied proline at different growth stages enhances growth of two maize cultivars grown under water deficit conditions (2007, background): “However, recently a consensus has been developed that diffusion of CO2 due to stomatal closure is a predominating factor in reducing photosynthesis under water-stress situations, although under severe water stress conditions metabolic limitations occur (Flexas et al., 2004; Athar & Ashraf, 2005; Enn”
