Predictions of future ecosystem function and food supply from staple C 4 crops, such as maize,
depend on elucidation of the mechanisms by which environmental change and growing …

Antioxidant metabolism is responsive to environmental conditions, and is proposed to be a
key component of ozone (O 3 ) tolerance in plants. Tropospheric O 3 concentration ([O 3 ]) …

Plant phenotyping is central to understand causal effects of genotypes and environments on
trait expression and is a critical factor in expediting plant breeding. Previously, plant …

Maize, in rotation with soybean, forms the largest continuous ecosystem in temperate N orth
A merica, therefore changes to the biosphere‐atmosphere exchange of water vapor and …

The geometries and topologies of leaves, flowers, roots, shoots, and their arrangements
have fascinated plant biologists and mathematicians alike. As such, plant morphology is …

Conventional phenotyping methods impose a significant bottleneck to the characterization of
genotypic and environmental effects on trait expression in plants. In particular, invasive and …

Plant respiration responses to elevated CO 2 concentration ( [ CO 2 ] ) have been studied
for three decades without consensus about the mechanism of response. Positive effects of …

Improved predictions of fitness and yield may be obtained by characterizing the genetic
controls and environmental dependencies of organismal ontogeny. Elucidating the shape of …

Plant respiration responses to elevated growth [ CO 2 ] are key uncertainties in predicting
future crop and ecosystem function. In particular, the effects of elevated growth [ CO 2 ] on …

The use of genomic techniques to address ecological questions is emerging as the field of
genomic ecology. Experimentation under environmentally realistic conditions to investigate …
