Understanding leaf trait responses to changing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations ([CO 2 ]) is essential for land- surface modelling. Eco-evolutionary optimality ( EEO ) theory predicts coordinated respo...

Evaluating graft quality in grapevine grafted plants is challenging because structural differences at the graft union are mostly internal. Conventional nursery assessments rely on external inspection,...

Understanding how tropical trees respond to complex environmental gradients is essential for predicting forest resilience under climate change. We examined variation in key leaf traits, including spec...

This paper explores the challenges that arise when performing and interpreting leaf gas exchange measurements in plants subjected to abiotic stress. It highlights how factors such as cuticular fluxes,...

📢 Deadline Extension: XVII International Symposium on Water Relations We are pleased to announce that the deadline for abstract submissions and for entries to the following awards has been extended t...

Stomata patterning, leaf structure, gas exchange, and ultimately species biogeography are inherently connected and have been observed to differ in plants by photosynthetic type. Patterns distinguishin...

🌱 SAVE THE DATE: 25-27th February 2026! 🌍 At Instituto de Agrobiotecnología IdAB-CSIC, we’re thrilled to announce the International Symposium on Water Relations in Plants, taking place in Pamplona, S...

Leaf rolling is a distinct morphological response to drought stress observed in grasses, including major cereal crops such as rice, wheat, and maize. While parameters associated with leaf rolling are ...

Shrubs (families Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Aizoaceae and Zygophyllaceae) in the succulent karoo of the southern Namib Desert survive an annual rainfall < 150 mm per annum but vary greatly in their vegeta...

Assessing freezing tolerance in photosynthetic tissues is essential for understanding plant adaptation to extreme environments such as Antarctica and the Arctic. This study presents a new portable the...

Se acaba de iniciar la publicación de la revista Plant Ecophysiology (https://www.sciltp.com/journals/PlantEcophys). En ella, aparece su primer editorial, escrito por el Profesor Dr. Jaume Flexas…

The consequences of climate change on the ecophysiology of cryptogams, generally, and in ferns, particularly, are understudied. Phenomena induced by climate change, such as increased frequency of extr...
