Study on Microstructure of Fiber Laser Welding of CoCrCuFeNi High Entropy Alloy Open
A CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy was successfully welded in this study using fiber laser welding. The effects of the welding parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. Three zones were formed: the fusion zone, …

Two major metabolic factors for an efficient NADP-malic enzyme type C4 photosynthesis Open
Compared to the large number of studies focused on the factors controlling C3 photosynthesis efficiency, there are relatively fewer studies of the factors controlling photosynthetic efficiency in C4 leaves. Here, we used a dynamic systems …

Potential metabolic mechanisms for inhibited chloroplast nitrogen assimilation under high CO2 Open
Improving photosynthesis is considered a major and feasible option to dramatically increase crop yield potential. Increased atmospheric CO2 concentration often stimulates both photosynthesis and crop yield, but decreases protein content in…

Why an increase in activity of an enzyme in the Calvin–Benson cycle does not always lead to an increased photosynthetic CO2 uptake rate?—a theoretical analysis Open
Overexpressing Calvin–Benson cycle (CBC) enzyme shown to limit the flow of CO2 through the cycle is a major approach to improve photosynthesis. Though control coefficients of CBC enzymes vary under different environmental and developmental…

Morphological and physiological factors contributing to early vigor in the elite rice cultivar 9,311 Open
Huanghuazhan (HHZ) and 9,311 are two elite rice cultivars in China. They have achieved high yield through quite different mechanisms. One of the major features that gives high yield capacity to 9,311 is its strong early vigor, i.e., faster…

An in situ approach to characterizing photosynthetic gas exchange of rice panicle Open
Background Photosynthesis of reproductive organs in C 3 cereals is generally regarded as important to crop yield. Whereas, photosynthetic characteristics of reproductive organs are much less understood as compared to leaf photosynthesis, m…

A three-dimensional canopy photosynthesis model in rice with a complete description of the canopy architecture, leaf physiology, and mechanical properties Open
In current rice breeding programs, morphological parameters such as plant height, leaf length and width, leaf angle, panicle architecture, and tiller number during the grain filling stage are used as major selection targets. However, so fa…

ePlant for quantitative and predictive plant science research in the big data era —Lay the foundation for the future model guided crop breeding, engineering and agronomy Open
Background The increase in global population, climate change and stagnancy in crop yield on unit land area basis in recent decades urgently call for a new approach to support contemporary crop improvements. ePlant is a mathematical model o…

Rapid stomatal response to fluctuating light: an under-explored mechanism to improve drought tolerance in rice Open
Light inside a canopy constantly fluctuates. Under fluctuating light (FL) conditions, stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate constantly change. In this study, we explored whether this dynamics of stomata movements upon FL influenced …
