Journal ArticleDOI
Natural variation in photosynthetic capacity, growth, and yield in 64 field-grown wheat genotypes
TL;DR: Significant variation in photosynthesis and growth in 64 wheat cultivars was explained by differences in photosynthetic capacity, operation and CO2 diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased SBPase activity improves photosynthesis and grain yield in wheat grown in greenhouse conditions
Steven M. Driever,Steven M. Driever,Andrew J. Simkin,Saqer S. Alotaibi,Stuart J. Fisk,Pippa J. Madgwick,Caroline A. Sparks,Huw Jones,Huw Jones,Tracy Lawson,Martin A. J. Parry,Martin A. J. Parry,Christine A. Raines +12 more
TL;DR: To increase leaf photosynthesis in wheat, the level of the Calvin–Benson cycle enzyme sedoheptulose-1,7-biphosphatase (SBPase) has been increased through transformation and expression of a Brachypodium distachyon SBPase gene construct.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotyping of field-grown wheat in the UK highlights contribution of light response of photosynthesis and flag leaf longevity to grain yield.
Elizabete Carmo-Silva,P.J. Andralojc,Joanna C. Scales,Steven M. Driever,Andrew Mead,Tracy Lawson,Christine A. Raines,Martin A. J. Parry,Martin A. J. Parry +8 more
TL;DR: Flag leaf longevity and operating photosynthetic rates at ambient CO2 and a range of light levels correlated with grain yield of UK field-grown wheat reveal new targets to enhance crop productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The water–water cycle in leaves is not a major alternative electron sink for dissipation of excess excitation energy when CO2 assimilation is restricted
Steven M. Driever,Neil R. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: The water-water cycle can operate in leaves under some conditions, but it does not act as a major sink for excess excitation energy when CO(2) assimilation is restricted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth limitation of Lemna minor due to high plant density
TL;DR: The model described the field data well, suggesting that crowding is an important factor in limitation of duckweed growth, and the effect of high population densities on the growth rate of Lemna minor was studied.
