Journal ArticleDOI
Using temperature-dependent changes in leaf scaling relationships to quantitatively account for thermal acclimation of respiration in a coupled global climate-vegetation model
Owen K. Atkin,Lindsey J. Atkinson,Rosie A. Fisher,Catherine Campbell,Joana Zaragoza-Castells,Jon W. Pitchford,F. Ian Woodward,Vaughan Hurry +7 more
TL;DR: The response of plant respiration to temperature is an important component of the biosphere's response to climate change as discussed by the authors, and most global models assume that R increases exponentially with temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A test of the ‘one‐point method’ for estimating maximum carboxylation capacity from field‐measured, light‐saturated photosynthesis
Martin G. De Kauwe,Yan-Shih Lin,Ian J. Wright,Belinda E. Medlyn,Kristine Y. Crous,Kristine Y. Crous,David S. Ellsworth,Vincent Maire,I. Colin Prentice,I. Colin Prentice,Owen K. Atkin,Alisdair Rogers,Ülo Niinemets,Ülo Niinemets,Shawn P. Serbin,Patrick Meir,Patrick Meir,Johan Uddling,Henrique Furstenau Togashi,Henrique Furstenau Togashi,Lasse Tarvainen,Lasantha K. Weerasinghe,Lasantha K. Weerasinghe,Bradley Evans,F. Yoko Ishida,Tomas F. Domingues +25 more
TL;DR: The one-point method provides a robust means to expand current databases of field-measured Vcmax, giving new potential to improve vegetation models and quantify the environmental drivers of Vc Max variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf day respiration: low CO2 flux but high significance for metabolism and carbon balance
Guillaume Tcherkez,Paul P. G. Gauthier,Thomas N. Buckley,Florian A. Busch,Margaret M. Barbour,Dan Bruhn,Mary A. Heskel,Xiao Ying Gong,Kristine Y. Crous,Kevin L. Griffin,Danielle A. Way,Matthew H. Turnbull,Mark A. Adams,Owen K. Atkin,Graham D. Farquhar,Gabriel Cornic +15 more
TL;DR: The view of leaf day respiration as a constant and/or negligible parameter of net carbon exchange is now outdated and it should now be regarded as a central actor of plant carbon-use efficiency.
Book ChapterDOI
Photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism and respiration in leaves of higher plants.
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that respiration helps a plant cope with excess photosynthetic redox equivalents, which otherwise can result in photo-oxidative stress, and mitochondrial respiration appears to be critical for the provision of ATP necessary for energy demanding processes in the light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Respiratory Chain Regulation in Roots of Soybean Seedlings
TL;DR: It is concluded that decreases in whole-root respiration during growth of soybean seedlings can be largely explained by decreases in maximal rates of electron transport via COX.
