Article Abstract
Tropical forests take up more carbon (C) from the atmosphere per annum by photosynthesis than any other type of vegetation. Phosphorus (P) limitations to C uptake are paramount for tropical and subtropical forests around the globe. Yet the generality of photosynthesis-P relationships underlying these limitations are in question, and hence are not represented well in terrestrial biosphere models. Here we demonstrate the dependence of photosynthesis and underlying processes on both leaf N and P concentrations. The regulation of photosynthetic capacity by P was similar across four continents. Implementing P constraints in the ORCHIDEE-CNP model, gross photosynthesis was reduced by 36% across the tropics and subtropics relative to traditional N constraints and unlimiting leaf P. Our results provide a quantitative relationship for the P dependence for photosynthesis for the front-end of global terrestrial C models that is consistent with canopy leaf measurements.

Shade stress alters soybean growth through transcriptomic changes and adaptive responses that optimize light capture and utilization, regulated by a phytohormonal network. This study examined the physiological, morphological, and molecular responses of Guru (shade-tolerant) and Heinong 53 (shade-sensitive) soybean cultivars under 0% (control), 30%, and 70% shade. Results revealed morphological responses where Heinong 53 exhibited greater plant height (52.

Cyanophages are widely distributed viruses that specifically infect blue-green algae and play a critical role as biological control agents in aquatic ecosystems. Despite their ecological importance, the effects of light on cyanophage-host interactions are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of host photosynthesis in different stages of MaMV-DH01 infection, a novel muscle-tailed cyanophage isolated from Donghu Lake that targets Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB524.

Maintaining robust plant vigor is essential for sustaining crop productivity, yet the precise roles and molecular underpinnings of G protein γ subunits in this process remain elusive. This study reveals that GGC1 is under selection during tomato domestication, and its mutants exhibit enhanced plant vigor, characterized by superior growth, increased yield, and improved fruit quality. In contrast, triple mutants gga1/ggb1/ggb2 display severely compromised vigor resembling slgb1 mutants lacking the Gβ subunit.

Mutualistic endosymbiosis is a cornerstone of evolutionary innovation, enabling organisms to exploit diverse niches unavailable to individual species. However, our knowledge about the early evolutionary stage of this relationship remains limited. The association between the ciliate Tetrahymena utriculariae and its algal endosymbiont Micractinium tetrahymenae indicates an incipient stage of photoendosymbiosis.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development; however, both its deficiency and excess can be harmful. Although the effects of excess P are still poorly understood, research has shown that plants exposed to excessive levels of P exhibit reductions in stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, and growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different P concentrations on stomatal responses, photochemical parameters, growth, and development of three Solanum lycopersicum genotypes: wild type, Never ripe (lower sensitivity to ethylene), and Notabilis (deficient in ABA production).
