Maize is both an exciting model organism in plant genetics and also the most important crop
worldwide for food, animal feed and bioenergy production. Recent genome-wide …

Rising demand for food and bioenergy makes it imperative to breed for increased crop yield.
Vegetative plant growth could be driven by resource acquisition or developmental programs…

Growth and carbon (C) fluxes are severely altered in plants exposed to soil water deficit.
Correspondingly, it has been suggested that plants under water deficit suffer from C shortage. In …

Arabidopsis was grown in a 12, 8, 4 or 3 h photoperiod to investigate how metabolism and
growth adjust to a decreased carbon supply. There was a progressive increase in the rate of …

Our understanding of the interaction of carbon (C) metabolism with nitrogen (N) metabolism
and growth is based mainly on studies of responses to environmental treatments, and …

The diversity of metabolites found in plants is by far greater than in most other organisms.
Metabolic profiling techniques, which measure many of these compounds simultaneously, …

Potassium (K) is required in large quantities by growing crops, but faced with high fertilizer
prices, farmers often neglect K application in favor of nitrogen and phosphorus. As a result, …

Transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants expressing a fragment of a fumarate
hydratase (fumarase) gene in the antisense orientation and exhibiting considerable reductions in …

The root system is essential for the growth and development of plants. In addition to anchoring
the plant in the ground, it is the site of uptake of water and minerals from the soil. Plant …

A platform using reverse‐phase liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry
was developed to measure 28 metabolites from photosynthetic metabolism. It was …
