TL;DR: Reliable quantification of the leaf economics spectrum and its interaction with climate will prove valuable for modelling nutrient fluxes and vegetation boundaries under changing land-use and climate.

Breeding for high water-use efficiency.
TL;DR: Progress in breeding for improved water-use efficiency of rain-fed wheat is reviewed and results of such simulations indicate that greater progress may be achieved by pyramiding traits so that potential negative effects of individual traits are neutralized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Despite slow catalysis and confused substrate specificity, all ribulose bisphosphate carboxylases may be nearly perfectly optimized.
TL;DR: It is asserted that all Rubiscos may be nearly perfectly adapted to the differing CO(2, O(2), and thermal conditions in their subcellular environments, optimizing this compromise between CO( 2)/O(2) specificity and the maximum rate of catalytic turnover.

TL;DR: Practical information on the hardware, methodology, and the hands on application of chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence technology is provided to scientists who have some experience with the application but are still in the process of discovering what it all means and how it can be used.
