TL;DR: The term source–sink relationship refers to the integration of suger and amino acid production in photosynthesis with sugar and aminoacid utlisation in growth, storage, maintenance and production.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was argued that DHA detected in chloroplast extracts is artefactual, that in vivo DHA levels are negligible and that this metabolite is formed purely artefactually during extraction of plant tissues.

TL;DR: Low-red/far-red (L-R/FR) ratio light conditions significantly alleviate PSII and PSI photoinhibition in the shade leaves of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants and demonstrate that HY5 is an important hub in the cross talk between light and cold response pathways, leading to the attenuation of photoin inhibition by enhanced induction of photoprotection in shade leaves.

TL;DR: Data support the view that sucrose imported into the fruit was not exposed to extracellular hydrolysis, and suggests that movement from the phloem is likely to occur predominantly through a symplastic pathway.

TL;DR: An asymmetric surface-specific regulation of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance was observed with respect to light orientation and this was not caused by dorso-ventral variations in leaf structure, the distribution of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate car boxylase/oxygenase proteins or light absorptance, transmittance or reflectance.
