Citrus Physiology

Our research deals with understanding how trees take in and distribute carbon in subtropical and tropical environments.

Anyone interested in applying for this to work with us?

New paper with @DanBruhn1 & Lina Mercado @GlobalChangeBio on a simple method for calculating cumulative nighttime respiratory carbon loss from plants, taking into account the temperature-independent decrease in respiration as the night progresses.

[Citrus Physiology @treecophys]

Special thanks to @BerkleyW6 and the folks at @LICOR_ENV, who gave key ideas an advice.

[Citrus Physiology @treecophys]

This is particularly important for species that close stomata in response to elevated CO2, but we were also surprised to see that even in high conductance species Ci estimates were affected by accounting for cuticular conductance.

[Citrus Physiology @treecophys]

This is because the ratio of H20:CO2 conductance of the cuticle is much higher than that of the cuticle. If you don't account for this difference, you can dramatically overestimate Ci, systematically shifting Vcmax and Jmax estimates.

[Citrus Physiology @treecophys]

Proud of this work led by @SyedBilal1240: Cuticular conductance is important in estimating rates of carboxilation and electron transport. It's especially important if you are studying low stomatal conductance conditions. Enjoy! @ASPB @EnvEcoPlant https://t.co/iy22J91DsZ

[Citrus Physiology @treecophys]

Our new paper is out! We show that source:sink-induced increases in photosynthesis in citrus are not accompanied by changes in leaf export or stem transport speeds. Congrats to Shen-yang Li, this was from his dissertation. @EnvEcoPlant

[The RIPE Project @RIPEproject]

Researchers in @LongLab have proven in a model crop that an increase in mesophyll conductance can be engineered, & that it leads to an increase in photosynthesis.

Their work was published in the @PlantBiotechJ.
