Photosynthetic re-absorption of photorespired CO(2) causes underestimation in measured photorespiration and turnover rate of the substrate for photorespiration. Actual values of photorespiration exceed the measured by a factor greater than 1 + R'(w)/r(p) + [C(L)](x)/(r(p).L(x)). (R'(w) and r(p) are the partial resistances to CO(2) uptake between atmosphere, mesophyll evaporating surface, and ph...

 Net photosynthesis rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration rate (E) of anise hyssop were measured during the four cloudless days, in reference to diurnal fluctuations of leaf temperature (Tleaf), leaf vapor pressure deficit (VPD leaf) and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) in well watered (WW), stressed (S) and recovered (R) plants. An analysis of measured data showed tha...

Both photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (gs ) respond to changing irradiance, yet stomatal responses are an order of magnitude slower than photosynthesis, resulting in noncoordination between A and gs in dynamic light environments. Infrared gas exchange analysis was used to examine the temporal responses and coordination of A and gs to a step increase and decrease in light in a range o...

Photosynthesis is one of the most important biological processes on the earth. So far, though the molecular mechanisms underlying photosynthesis is well understood, however, the regulatory networks of photosynthesis are poorly studied. Given the current interest in improving photosynthetic efficiency for greater crop yield, elucidating the detailed regulatory networks controlling the constructi...
