The effect of constitutive root isoprene emission on root phenotype and physiology under control and salt stress conditions

This study investigates the role of root isoprene emission in Arabidopsis root physiology and salt stress resistance, finding it enhances growth and stress responses.

Triose phosphate utilization stress during photosynthesis addressed with dynamic assimilation measurements

The paper investigates CO2 assimilation oscillations during photosynthesis, finding that rapid CO2 changes induce stronger oscillations than step changes or slow ramps.

Compartment-specific energy requirements of photosynthetic carbon metabolism in Camelina sativa leaves

The paper analyzes energy metabolism in Camelina sativa leaves, finding that the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway significantly impacts carbon and energy use efficiency and suggests bioengineering strategies to improve crop yields.

Intramolecular carbon isotope signals reflect metabolite allocation in plants

This paper identifies an intramolecular 13C/12C signal in plant treering glucose and links it to carbon allocation in metabolic pathways, offering more detailed insights into carbon metabolism than whole-molecule analysis.

Triose phosphate utilization and beyond: from photosynthesis to end-product synthesis

The paper discusses triose phosphate utilization limitation in photosynthesis, its physiological effects, and methods for detecting it, while addressing common misconceptions.

Prospects for enhancing leaf photosynthetic capacity by manipulating mesophyll cell morphology

The paper reviews how mesophyll cell morphology affects photosynthesis and identifies potential target genes for engineering leaf anatomy to enhance photosynthetic capacity.
