Leaves are beautifully specialized organs designed to maximize the use of light and CO₂ for photosynthesis. Engineering leaf anatomy therefore holds great potential to enhance photosynthetic capacity.

Researchers from the University of Illinois have proven that increases in mesophyll conductance can be engineered and that it leads to increases in photosynthesis. These results were shown in a model ...

Salinity tolerance is associated with Na ‘exclusion’ from, or ‘tissue tolerance’ in, leaves. We investigated whether two contrasting chickpea genotypes, salt-tolerant Genesis836 and salt-sensitive ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Cornell University researchers have discovered a previously unknown way plants regulate water that is so fundamental it may change plant biology textbooks – and open the door to ...
