Article Abstract
Although photosynthetic response to light has been extensively studied at the single-leaf level, little is known about the response at the whole-plant level. The present study aims to reveal the differences in the photosynthetic response to light under steady and non-steady states between the single leaf and whole plant in and to investigate the mechanisms underlying these differences with respect to leaf aging. First, we developed an open system for gas exchange measurement of the whole plant of Arabidopsis. It enabled the photosynthetic response to dynamic environmental changes to be directly compared between the single leaf and whole plant. The photosynthetic response to the fluctuating light did not differ significantly between the single leaf and whole plant. This result is partly confirmed by the fact that the leaves at different ages showed no difference in the photosynthetic induction after a step change in light. On the other hand, light response analysis for steady-state photosynthesis showed a higher apparent quantum yield in the whole plant than in the single leaf. This difference might be attributed to the difference in the efficiency of light absorption and/or utilization of absorbed light among the leaves at different ages.

ONAC005 enhances salt stress tolerance by promoting suberin deposition in root endodermis.

Salt stress impairs photosynthetic efficiency and consequently reduces the growth, development, and grain yield of crop plants. The formation of hydrophobic barriers in the root endodermis, including the suberin lamellae and Casparian strips, is a key adaptive strategy for salt stress tolerance. In this study, we identified the role of the rice NAC transcription factor, ONAC005, in salt stress tolerance.

Despite periods of permanent darkness and extensive ice coverage in polar environments, photosynthetic ice diatoms display a remarkable capability of living inside the ice matrix. How these organisms navigate such hostile conditions with limited light and extreme cold remains unknown. Using a custom subzero temperature microscope during an Arctic expedition, we present the finding of motility at record-low temperatures in a Eukaryotic cell.

The emergence of new types of pollutants and the increase of anthropogenic load on the environment provoked an increased interest of researchers to study the toxic effects of pollutants on living organisms. This study is devoted to investigate the physiological response of the Black Sea phytoplankton community to the effects of ZnO, CuO and TiO nanoparticles (NPs) of different concentrations by creating in vitro model microcosms. Trends of changes in the ratio between phytoplankton groups (cyanobacteria-picoeukaryotic algae-nano-microphytoplankton), species composition, growth rates and functional state of cells under the influence of the studied nanoparticles were revealed.

Genome doubling did not enhance drought tolerance in alfalfa, but may set the stage for long-term adaptation to drought through a novel transcriptional landscape. Whole genome duplication (WGD) has been shown to enhance stress tolerance in plants. Cultivated alfalfa is autotetraploid, but diploid wild relatives are important sources of genetic variation for breeding.

Increasing leaf area and extending vegetation growing seasons are two primary drivers of global greening, which has emerged as one of the most significant responses to climate change. However, it remains unclear how these two leaf acclimation strategies would vary across forests at a large spatial scale. Here, using multiple satellite-based datasets and field measurements, we analysed the temporal changes (Δ) in maximal leaf area index (LAI) and length of the growing season (LOS) from 2002 to 2021 across deciduous broadleaf forests (DBFs) in the middle to high latitudes.
