Physiological Factors Limiting Leaf Net Photosynthetic Rate in C3 Crops like Rice and Approaches for Improving It

Functional linkages between leaf traits and net photosynthetic rate: reconciling empirical and mechanistic models

1. We had two objectives: (i) to determine the generality of, and extend the applicability of, a previously reported empirical relationship between leaf-level net photosynthetic rate ( A M , nmol g − 1 s − 1 ), specific leaf area (SLA, m 2 kg − 1 ) and leaf nitrogen mass fraction ( N M , mmol g − 1 ); and (ii) to compare these empirical results with a mechanistic model of photosynthesis in orde...

Leaf maximum photosynthetic rate and venation are linked by hydraulics.

Leaf veins are almost ubiquitous across the range of terrestrial plant diversity, yet their influence on leaf photosynthetic performance remains uncertain. We show here that specific physical attributes of the vascular plumbing network are key limiters of the hydraulic and photosynthetic proficiency of any leaf. Following the logic that leaf veins evolved to bypass inefficient water transport t...

On C3-Like Finsler Metrics

In this paper, we study the class of of C3-like Finsler metrics which contains the class of semi-C-reducible Finsler metric. We find a condition on C3-like metrics under which the notions of Landsberg curvature and mean Landsberg curvature are equivalent.
