Photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and some associated metabolic changes in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) during water stress and recovery

TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of photosynthetic gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence along with changes in carbohydrate and proline levels were studied in cowpea during water stress and recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coordinate changes in photosynthesis, sugar accumulation and antioxidative enzymes improve the performance of Jatropha curcas plants under drought stress

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between photosynthesis, sugars and photo-oxidative protection mechanisms in Jatropha curcas under drought stress was assessed, and it was shown that drought triggers a coordinate downregulation in photosynthesis through sucrose and reducing sugar accumulation and an energy excess dissipation at PSII level.
