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.

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.
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.
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
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

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.
