TL;DR: It is concluded that changes in PSII redox poise, at least within the range experienced here, have no direct impacts on rates of leaf dark respiration, and that the respiratory cold acclimation response is unrelated to changes in chloroplast redoxPoise.

TL;DR: Responses of plant terminal respiratory oxidases - and therefore respiratory carbon efficiency - to multiple nutrient deficiencies demonstrate that modulation of respiratory metabolism may play an important role in plant responses to nutrient gradients.

TL;DR: The findings provide evidence for a relatively constrained degree of light inhibition of R across gradients of water availability, although the combined impacts of seasonal changes in both T and soil water content increase the range of values expressed.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that for field-grown wheat, when measured at a common temperature (25°C), crops grown under warmer conditions would exhibit acclimation, leading to enhanced crop performance and yield, and have implications for predictive crop models that assume similar temperature response among these physiological processes, and for predictions of crop performance in a future warmer world.
