Combined effects of shade and drought on physiology, growth, and yield of mature cocoa trees by Mensah, E.O., Raebild, A., Asare, R., Amoatey, C., Markussen, B.O., Owusu, K., Asitoakor, B.K., Vaast, Philippe

“…Although pre-dawn chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) indicated photoinhibition, rates of photosynthesis (Pn) were highest in full sun. On the other hand, litter fall was highest in the full sun and under water stress, while diameter growth and carbon accumulation increased in the shade but was negatively affected by rainwater suppression. …”

Rice with reduced stomatal density conserves water and has improved drought tolerance under future climate conditions by Caine, Robert S., Yin, Xiaojia, Sloan, Jennifer, Harrison, Emily L., Mohammed, Umar, Fulton, Timothy, Biswal, Akshaya K., Dionora, Jacqueline, Chater, Caspar C., Coe, Robert A., Bandyopadhyay, Anindya, Murchie, Erik H., Swarup, Ranjan, Quick, W. Paul, Gray, Julie E.

“…Low stomatal density rice gave equivalent or even improved yields, despite a reduced rate of photosynthesis in some conditions. Rice plants with fewer stomata are drought tolerant and more conservative in their water use, and they should perform better in the future when climate change is expected to threaten food security.…”

Candidate regulators of early leaf development in maize perturb hormone signalling and secondary cell wall formation when constitutively expressed in rice by Wang, Peng, Karki, Shanta, Biswal, Akshaya K., Lin, Hsiang-Chun, Dionora, Mary Jacqueline, Rizal, Govinda, Yin, Xiaojia, Schuler, Mara L., Hughes, Tom, Fouracre, Jim P., Jamous, Basel Abu, Sedelnikova, Olga, Lo, Shuen-Fang, Bandyopadhyay, Anindya, Yu, Su-May, Kelly, Steven, Quick, W. Paul, Langdale, Jane A.

“…All grass leaves are strap-shaped with a series of parallel veins running from base to tip, but the distance between each pair of veins, and the cell-types that develop between them, differs depending on whether the plant performs C3 or C4 photosynthesis. As part of a multinational effort to introduce C4 traits into rice to boost crop yield, candidate regulators of C4 leaf anatomy were previously identified through an analysis of maize leaf transcriptomes. …”

Nitrogen Fertilization of Direct-Seeded Flooded Vs. Transplanted Rice. II. Interactions Among Canopy Properties by Dingkuhn, M., Schnier, H.F., De Datta, S.K., Dorffling, K., Javellana, C., Pamplona, R.

“…Overexpansion of foliage was particularly marked in row‐seeded rice, due to the absence of transplanting shock and the high plant density, leading to an unfavorable respiration/photosynthesis ratio. Simulation suggested higher yield for direct‐seeded lowland rice in a modified plant type with lower LAI and higher foliar N concentration during the reproductive growth phase, lower tillering ability, and higher assimilate storage capacity in the stems.…”

“…The creation of this capability required: (1) a new module (APSIM SoilP) that simulates the dynamics of P in soil and is able to account for effectiveness of alternative fertiliser management (i.e. water-soluble versus rock phosphate sources, placement effects); (2) a link to the modules simulating the dynamics of carbon and nitrogen in soil organic matter, crop residues, etc., in order that the P present in such materials can be accounted for; and (3) modification to crop modules to represent the P uptake process, estimation of the P stress in the crop, and consequent restrictions to the plant growth processes of photosynthesis, leaf expansion, phenology and grain filling. …”
