TL;DR: It is highlighted that even though drought had a direct effect on leaves, the deleterious effects of drought on nodules also conditioned leaf responsiveness and prevented oxidative damage associated with reduced respiration activity and the consequent increase in oxygen content.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of progressive drought and subsequent recovery in four alfalfa genotypes differing in drought sensitivity: three cultivars adapted to a Mediterranean climate, Tafilalet, Tierra de Campos and Moapa, and another representative of an oceanic climate, Europe.

TL;DR: Comparisons of the effects of the AM symbiosis on root aquaporin gene expression and plant physiology in two maize cultivars with contrasting drought sensitivity suggested a role of these aquaporins in water homeostasis or in the transport of other solutes of physiological importance in both cultivars under drought stress conditions, which may be important for the AM-induced tolerance to drought stress.

TL;DR: The obtained data highlighted that elevated [CO2] only increased plant growth in the genotype with the largest HI; Sula, and inhibition of N assimilation was involved in the carbohydrate imbalance and consequently with the down-regulation of photosynthesis and growth in these plants.

TL;DR: The present study clearly shows that external N supply can reduce or even avoid acclimation of photosynthesis to elevated CO₂ as a consequence of the increase in C sink strength associated with N availability.
