Estimation of intrinsic water-use efficiency from δ13C signature of C3 leaves: Assumptions and uncertainty

Wei Ting Ma et al.

Summary: Carbon isotope composition (delta C-13) is widely used to estimate the intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) of plants, providing valuable insights into the functional response of plants to climate change. However, the current literature lacks comprehensive review papers on the theoretical basis, assumptions, and uncertainty of C-13-based iWUE models. This study presents different models and discusses their limitations, emphasizing the importance of understanding mesophyll conductance and post-photosynthetic fractionation for improving the accuracy of iWUE estimation.

Individual and combined effects of heat and drought and subsequent recovery on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, cell osmoregulation, and yield formation

Chen Ru et al.

Summary: Extreme temperatures and droughts are major factors that limit wheat growth and production. Little is known about the recovery capacity of wheat plants after stress relief. This study evaluated the growth, physiological activities, and yield formation responses of wheat under heat, drought, and combined stress conditions. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the coordinated responses of winter wheat during combined heat and drought stress and recovery periods. Overall rating: 8/10

Decoupling between stomatal conductance and photosynthesis occurs under extreme heat in broadleaf tree species regardless of water access

Renee M. Marchin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the decoupling phenomenon between stomatal conductance (g(s)) and net photosynthesis (A(net)) under high temperatures. It is found that plants with ample water access reduce A(net) and use transpirational cooling, while droughted plants rely on other mechanisms to avoid lethal temperatures.

Yield Formation Parameters of Selected Winter Wheat Genotypes in Response to Water Shortage

Marcela Hlavacova et al.

Summary: By testing 20 winter wheat cultivars for drought stress tolerance, our study found that genotypes originating in Western Europe and the warmer regions of southeastern Europe displayed the highest response to experimental drought in different measurements. This suggests the potential for selecting genotypes with increased drought resistance within existing cultivars.

Comprehensive evaluation of high-temperature tolerance induced by heat priming at early growth stages in winter wheat

Anab Khanzada et al.

Summary: Priming with heat stress in the early growth stage enhances stress tolerance in winter wheat, particularly at the booting and flowering stages. The study investigated changes in photosynthetic characteristics, antioxidant enzyme system, and sugar metabolism in leaves. Low heat priming improved winter wheat's adaptation and tolerance to heat stress, while moderate heat priming increased yield and tolerance at the booting stage. These findings provide a new research direction for reducing yield loss in winter wheat under harsh environmental conditions.

isocalcR: An R package to streamline and standardize stable isotope calculations in ecological research

Justin M. Mathias et al.

Summary: The use of stable isotopes to understand plant physiological processes has become common in ecology. However, there is currently no standardized tool to calculate isotope-derived plant physiological indices. In response, we developed isocalcR, an R package that provides functions and reference data to simplify the use of stable isotope data in plant tissues.

Single and interactive effects of variables associated with climate change on wheat metabolome

Kristyna Vecerova et al.

Summary: This study revealed the impact of climate factors on the accumulation of metabolic compounds in wheat, where elevated CO2 levels may mitigate the negative effects of elevated temperatures by maintaining carbon fixation rate and accumulation of key metabolites. These findings could potentially contribute to the development of climate resilient wheat varieties by utilizing identified metabolites as breeding targets.

The dendroclimatic value of oak stable isotopes

Otmar Urban et al.

Summary: Tree-ring stable oxygen and carbon isotope ratios (818O and 813C) are important for climate reconstructions. The study from the Czech Republic found that polyvinyl acetate treatment does not affect the isotopic signals in oak samples, and there is spatial and temporal coherence within and between different oak species, locations, and tree ages.

Rudolf Brazdil et al.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of precipitation patterns over the Czech Republic from 1961 to 2019, revealing relatively stable fluctuations in annual precipitation totals but significant interannual variability at a 4-8 year timescale. Winter precipitation increases in proportion with altitude, while summer precipitation decreases.

Drought Stress Impacts on Plants and Different Approaches to Alleviate Its Adverse Effects

Mahmoud F. Seleiman et al.

Summary: Drought stress is a significant environmental factor affecting plant growth, with plants developing complex resistance and adaptation mechanisms to improve tolerance. Plants adopt strategies such as altering stomatal conductance, enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, and adjusting root to shoot ratio dynamics to cope with water deficit.

Drought: Sensing, signalling, effects and tolerance in higher plants

Mohammad Mukarram et al.

Summary: Drought is a combination of multiple stressful conditions that disrupt osmotic and ionic balance in plants, leading to impacts on overall plant growth, development, and productivity. Plants have various defense mechanisms to mitigate the effects of drought, including stomatal adjustments, osmotic adjustments, antioxidant metabolism, and ion regulations, which can help alleviate the damage caused by water deficit.

The effect of individual and combined drought and heat stress under elevated CO2 on physiological responses in spring wheat genotypes

Lamis Osama Anwar Abdelhakim et al.

Summary: Elevated CO2 levels can mitigate the negative impact of moderate stress on all genotypes, with no distinctive responses observed between heat sensitive and tolerant genotypes in some measured parameters. Heat tolerant genotypes grown at elevated CO2 showed higher net photosynthetic rates and maintained maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry under heat and combined stress compared to ambient CO2 levels.

ROS status and antioxidant enzyme activities in response to combined temperature and drought stresses in barley

Kuralay Zhanassova et al.

Summary: The combined drought and high temperature stresses have a more severe impact on plants, triggering drastic changes in plant morphology/physiology and biochemistry. High temperature exposure leads to significant reduction of root and shoot aldehyde oxidase activity, while increased temperature results in lower levels of reactive oxygen species accumulation.
