Allometric models for non-destructive leaf area estimation in coffee (Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the currently used allometric models are biased, underestimating the area of a coffee leaf, and a reliable and accurate model using non-destructive measurements of leaf length and width is proposed, irrespective of cultivar and leaf size and shape.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photosynthesis and photoprotection in coffee leaves is affected by nitrogen and light availabilities in winter conditions.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that N fertilization could adequately protect the coffee plants against photodamage independently of the anticipated positive effects of N on the photosynthetic capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

In field‐grown coffee trees source–sink manipulation alters photosynthetic rates, independently of carbon metabolism, via alterations in stomatal function

TL;DR: It is proposed that the decreased A in defruited coffee trees was independent of carbon metabolism and was rather directly related to a lower CO(2) availability coupled to lower g(s) in trees with a full crop load and half leaf area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allometric models for non-destructive leaf area estimation of Jatropha curcas

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the current used allometric models and proposed a reliable and accurate model using non-destructive measurements of leaf length (L) and/or width (W) for estimating the leaf area of the Jatropha plant (Jatropha curcas L.).
Journal ArticleDOI

Tobacco guard cells fix CO2 by both Rubisco and PEPcase while sucrose acts as a substrate during light-induced stomatal opening.

TL;DR: The results obtained support the hypothesis that sucrose is catabolized within guard cells in order to provide carbon skeletons for organic acid production and provide a qualitative demonstration that CO2 fixation occurs both via ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and phosphoenolpyruvate car boxylase (PEPcase).
