The Close Relationship Between Net Photosynthesis and Crop Yield
TL;DR: Increasing the rates of net photosynthesis and translocation and enlarging the storage capacity by selection and breeding may bring about large increases in yield, especially in C3 species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical control of stomatal opening in leaves
Journal ArticleDOI
High Glycolate Oxidase Activity Is Required for Survival of Maize in Normal Air
TL;DR: It is shown that C4 photosynthesis in maize is dependent on photorespiration throughout seedling development and support the view that the carbon oxidation pathway evolved to prevent accumulation of toxic glycolate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Determination of Potassium Ion Accumulation in Guard Cells in Relation to Stomatal Opening in Light
B. L. Sawhney,Israel Zelitch +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanism of stomatal opening in leaves is studied in this paper, where the primlary solute accumulating in the light was soluble carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis, because guard cells possess chloroplasts and other epidermal cells do not.
