Abstract Plants commonly undergo leaf morphoanatomy and composition modifications to cope with drought stress, these tend reduce mesophyll conductance CO2 diffusion (gm), a key limitation photosynthesis. The cell wall appears play crucial role in this reduction, yet the specific effect of compositions on gm underlying regulatory mechanisms thickness (Tcw) variation are not well understood. In study, we subjected cotton plants varying levels water deficit investigate impact arrangement...

Abstract Background and Aims The leaf economic spectrum (LES) is related to dry mass nutrient investments towards photosynthetic processes structures, the duration of returns on those (leaf lifespan, LL). Phosphorus (P) a key limiting for plant growth, yet it unclear how allocation P among different functions coordinated with LES. We addressed this question 12 evergreen woody species co-occurring P-impoverished soils in south-eastern Australia. Methods Leaf ‘economic’ traits, including LL,...

Crop species undergo artificial selection as a result of domestication under agricultural field conditions. However, there is limited information on the pattern how alters leaf photosynthesis, morphology, and biomass its allocation. In this review, we firstly introduced concept crop domestication, provided clarity syndrome, emphasized significance in conservation re-utilization wild resources. Next, discussed variation yield using compiled dataset comprised 54 cultivated species. We...

ABSTRACT Domestication of crops with the goal improving yield has led to spectacular shifts in phenotypic traits and their correlation patterns. However, it is relatively unknown whether domestication driven variation architecture trait networks optimise carbon return on construction cost along leaf economics spectrum (LES). Here, we compiled a data set functional, biochemical, anatomical 54 wild cultivated crops. We found that tended be located at acquisitive end global LES, typically...

Mesophyll conductance (gm) has been shown to affect photosynthetic capacity and thus the estimates of terrestrial carbon balance. While there have some attempts model gm at leaf larger scales, potential contribution photosynthesis non-leaf green organs not studied. Here, we investigated influence on cotton bracts how it in turn is influenced by anatomical structures, comparing palisade spongy mesophyll with bract tissue. Our results showed that much lower than leaves, a limiting factor for...

Abstract Mesophyll conductance (gm) is a crucial leaf trait contributing to the photosynthetic rate (AN). Plant domestication typically leads an enhancement of AN that often associated with profound anatomical modifications, but it unclear which these structural alterations influence gm. We analyzed implication on anatomy and its effect gm in 26 wild 31 domesticated cotton genotypes (Gossypium sp.) grown under field conditions. found had higher similar genotypes. Consistent this, did not...

Drought stress causes changes in vein and stomatal density. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) if the density are coordinated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (2) how these affect water-use efficiency (WUE). results showed significant positive correlations between when was grown under different degrees drought stress. WUE significantly positively correlated with densities both veins stomata. Stomatal pore area on abaxial leaf side, but not adaxial WUE, conductance, net...

Mesophyll conductance (gm ) is one of the major determinants photosynthetic rate, for which it has an impact on crop yield. However, regulatory mechanisms behind decline in gm cotton (Gossypium. spp) by drought are unclear. An upland (Gossypium hirsutum) genotype and a pima barbadense) were used to determine gas exchange parameters, leaf anatomical structure as well aquaporin carbonic anhydrase gene expression under well-watered treatment conditions. In this study, decrease net rate (AN...

SUMMARY Domestication has dramatically increased crop size and biomass, reflecting the enhanced accumulation of photosynthates. However, we still lack solid empirical data on impacts domestication photosynthetic rates at different light intensities leaf anatomy, relationships photosynthesis with aboveground biomass. In this study, measured rate three photon flux densities 2000 (high), 1000 (moderate) 400 μmol m −2 sec −1 (low intensity), dark respiration, relative chlorophyll content (SPAD),...

Crop domestication for increasing growth rates and yields appears to have altered the features of adaxial abaxial stomata, but its effect on leaf water use efficiency (WUE) not been experimentally verified. In this study, we characterized stomatal anatomy carbon isotope discrimination (δ13C) in 32 wild 36 domesticated genotypes cotton grown under agricultural field conditions. The results showed that possessed lower WUE, as indicated by low or more negative δ13C compared with genotypes....

Extreme environments, such as deserts and high-elevation ecosystems, are very important from biodiversity ecological perspectives. However, plant physiology at those sites has been scarcely studied, likely due to logistic difficulties. In the present study, leaf physiological traits in native plants were analyzed arid zones across an elevational transect Western China, Turpan Basin Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) Delingha. The aim of this study was use help identifying potentially threatened...

The process of domestication has driven dramatic shifts in plant functional traits, including leaf mass per area (LMA). It remains unclear whether produced concerted the lower-level anatomical traits that underpin LMA and how these turn affect photosynthesis.In this study we investigated controls gas exchange by properties at cellular, tissue whole-leaf levels, comparing 26 wild 31 domesticated genotypes cotton (Gossypium).As expected, plants expressed lower LMA, higher photosynthesis...

The effect of crop domestication on photosynthetic productivity has been well-studied, but at present, none examines its impacts leaf anatomy and, consequently, light use efficiency in cotton. We investigated and vein traits, (LUE) gas exchange 26 wild 30 domesticated genotypes cotton grown under field conditions. results showed that resulted a higher rate, stomatal conductance, lower lamina mass per area. Higher LUE was underpinned by the thicker leaves, greater volume, elongated palisade...

There is a trade-off between leaf structures and photosynthesis physiology. While numerous reports have shown dif- ference in Gossypium hirsutum L. (upland cotton) G. barbadense (pima cotton), the potential contribution of on this difference was not fully clarified. Here, we investigated differences area- mass-based photosynthetic traits upland pima cottons. Our results showed that cotton had higher area-based net rate (Parea) than cotton, which attributed to coordination stomatal...

Abstract Plants are often exposed to fluctuating light from a few seconds minutes due cloud movements, mutual shading of leaves, and change in the angle sun. Slow stomatal response leads carbon loss, but influence planting density on fluctuation frequency gain has yet be fully explored. To fill this knowledge gap, we investigated leaf morphology, anatomy rate, nitrogen content, biomass, yield under low density, moderate high (HD) cotton cultivar ( Gossypium hirsutum L.). The results showed...
