Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic carbon assimilation and associated metabolism in relation to water deficits in higher plants
David W. Lawlor,Gabriel Cornic +1 more
TL;DR: The primary effect of low RWC on Apot is most probably caused by limited RuBP synthesis, as a result of decreased ATP synthesis, either through inhibition of Coupling Factor activity or amount due to increased ion concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water stress inhibits plant photosynthesis by decreasing coupling factor and ATP
TL;DR: It is shown that ATP-synthase (coupling factor) decreases with stress and concluded that photosynthetic assimilation of CO2 by stressed leaves is not limited by CO2 diffusion but by inhibition of ribulose biphosphate synthesis, related to lower ATP content resulting from loss of ATP synthase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limitation to Photosynthesis in Water‐stressed Leaves: Stomata vs. Metabolism and the Role of ATP
TL;DR: Decreasing relative water content of leaves progressively decreases stomatal conductance (gs), slowing CO2 assimilation (A) which eventually stops, after which CO2 is evolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of decreased photosynthetic rate and metabolic capacity in water-deficient leaf cells: a critical evaluation of mechanisms and integration of processes
David W. Lawlor,Wilmer Tezara +1 more
TL;DR: A qualitative model of photosynthetic metabolism under WD is developed that explains many observations and considers techniques, and develops a testable hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon and nitrogen assimilation in relation to yield: mechanisms are the key to understanding production systems
TL;DR: Achievement of the long-term objectives of improving crop N-use and yield with fewer inputs and less pollution, by agronomy, breeding or genetic engineering, requires a better understanding of the whole system, from genes via metabolism to yield.
