Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “Even such a small sample has revealed sufficient variation, in principle, to confer superior characteristics to photosynthesis in specific crops and environments (Galmés et al., 2005; Zhu et al., 2010b; Parry et al., 2011).”

Improving photosynthetic efficiency for greater yield. (2010, background): “Even in higher plants, Rubisco with higher λ values has been reported in plants adapted to dryer environments and in species that are hemideciduous or evergreen (41).”
Identifying traits to improve the nitrogen economy of wheat: Recent advances and future prospects (2009, background): “Limited genetic variation in the specificity factor has been reported amongst C3 plants, in the range 80–110 (Delgado et al., 1995; Galmes et al., 2005).”
Photoprotection processes under water stress and recovery in Mediterranean plants with different growth forms and leaf habits (2007, background): “Remarkably, the only species that did not present the initial increase at MiWS was L. gibertii, which has been shown to present the highest value of Rubisco specificity for CO2 up to now described in higher plants (Galmés et al. 2005).”
Complete plastid genome sequence of Vaccinium macrocarpon: structure, gene content, and rearrangements revealed by next generation sequencing (2013, background): “Interspecific variation in the plastid has been reported for Rubisco in species with persistent leaves and high photosynthetic ability such as cranberry (Galmes et al. 2005; Hikosaka and Shigeno 2009).”
Can improvement in photosynthesis increase crop yields? (2006, background): “Similarly, Galmes et al. (2005) suggest that lower [CO 2 ] is found in the mesophyll of plants from saline and arid habitats because of their persistently lower g s , and they provide evidence that this has led to the selection of higher τ forms of Rubisco in some C 3 species.”
Breeding for Yield Potential and Stress Adaptation in Cereals (2008, background): “Alternatively, natural variation, although comparatively small ( Galmes et al , 2005 ), can be exploited to improve Rubisco specificity and thus CO 2 assimilation in crop plants ( Parry et al , 2007 ).”
Improving water use efficiency in grapevines: potential physiological targets for biotechnological improvement. (2010, background): “For the same reason, increasing Rubisco specificity for CO2 may be preferable to increasing its abundance, activation state or catalytic rate (Galmes et al., 2005; Parry et al. 2007).”
Response of leaf respiration to water stress in Mediterranean species with different growth forms (2007, background): “…in Mediterranean plants a strong diversity in ecophysiological traits that are likely of adaptive value, such as the specificity factor of Rubisco (Galmés et al., 2005a), and the response to water stress of relative growth rate and its components (Galmés et al., 2005b), leaf water relations,…”
Prospects for crop production under drought: research priorities and future directions (2005, background): “Exploiting existing variability in Rubisco specificity factor among C3 plants appears a promising way to obtain genetically modified (GM) crops with improved yield under drought (Galmés et al., 2005).”
Water relations and stomatal characteristics of Mediterranean plants with different growth forms and leaf habits: responses to water stress and recovery (2007, unknown): “Similarly, Limonium spp. were the only in which water stress-induced decreased relative growth rate was strongly associated to decreased net assimilation rate, and not to morphological adjustments as in the other species (Galmés et al. 2005b).”
