Metabolic Activity of Isolated Leaf Cells of Phaseolus vulgaris in Relation to Leaf Development.

Mesophyll cells were isolated from primary leaves of 5- to 21-day Phaseolus vulgaris plants. The rate of photosynthesis and respiration, and RNA, protein, and lipid synthesis was determined for these cells. Appropriate (14)C substrates and product purification procedures were used for each process prior to liquid scintillation counting. The size of the leaves increased about 5-fold between days...

Water stress of sugarbeet as related to leaf and canopy temperatures and to leaf Water content

Global variability in leaf respiration in relation to climate, plant functional types and leaf traits.

Leaf dark respiration (Rdark ) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new global database of Rdark and associated leaf traits. Data for 899 species were compiled from 100 sites (from the Arctic to the tropics). Several woody and nonwoody plant functional types (PFTs) were represented. Mixed-effects models were used to disentangle so...
