Abstract
The grain yield is closely associated with spikelet fertility in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under high temperatures, and nitrogen (N) plays a crucial role in yield formation. To investigate the effect of panicle N application on yield formation under high temperatures at the panicle initiation stage, two rice varieties [Liangyoupeijiu (LYPJ, heat susceptible) and Shanyou63 (SY63, heat tolerant)] were grown and exposed to high daytime temperature (HT) and control temperature (Control) during the panicle initiation stage. Low (LPN) and high (HPN) panicle N applications were conducted. HT markedly decreased the yields by 87% at LPN and 48% at HPN in LYPJ and 31% at LPN and 36% at HPN in SY63. The decrease in grain yield under HT was primarily attributed to the decline in spikelet fertility, HPN increased spikelet fertility. HT resulted in the abnormal development of anthers, which included disordered, enlarged, and broken anther wall layers, degraded and irregularly shaped microspores, delayed tapetum degradation, less vacuolated microspores per locule, abnormal and aborted pollen grains; however, HPN improved the development of anthers under HT, particularly in LYPJ. A high rate of evapotranspiration resulted in an approximately 1°C decrease in panicle temperatures at HPN compared with that at LPN in both varieties under HT. Overall, these results demonstrate that the increased panicle N application favors normal anther development in LYPJ by decreasing the panicle temperature, which results in high pollen viability and spikelet fertility, and consequently less yield loss under HT.

Abstract
Major research on photosynthesis has been carried out under steady light. However, in the natural environment, steady light is rare, and light intensity is always changing. Changing light affects (usually reduces) photosynthetic carbon assimilation and causes decreases in biomass and yield. Ecologists first observed the importance of changing light for plant growth in the understory; other researchers noticed that changing light in the crop canopy also seriously affects yield. Here, we review the effects of environmental and non-environmental factors on dynamic photosynthetic carbon assimilation under changing light in higher plants. In general, dynamic photosynthesis is more sensitive to environmental and non-environmental factors than steady photosynthesis, and dynamic photosynthesis is more diverse than steady photosynthesis. Finally, we discuss the challenges of photosynthetic research under changing light.

Abstract
Phosphorus is one of the most important essential mineral elements for plant growth and development. It has been widely recognized that phosphorus deficiency can lead to the significant declines in leaf photosynthetic rate and leaf area. However, the internal mechanism associated with the leaf anatomical traits has not been well understood. In present study, a hydroponic experiment was conducted to study the effect of phosphorus deficiency on leaf growth and photosynthesis in Jimai 22 (JM22, Triticum aestivum L.) and Suk Landarace 26 (SL26, Triticum aestivum L.). With the decrease in phosphorus concentration, leaf photosynthetic rate and leaf area in SL26 and JM22 all decreased significantly, but the decrease in leaf area occurred earlier than that in leaf photosynthetic rate. The thresholds of phosphorus concentration to maintain a high photosynthesis were 145.5 and 138.7 mg m-2, respectively, in SL26 and JM22; and they were 197.5 and 212.0 mg m-2, respectively, for leaf growth. The decrease in leaf photosynthetic rate under low P conditions was mainly caused by the lowered stomatal conductance and mesophyll conductance, and to a less extent by the decrease in biochemical capacities. The decrease in stomatal conductance was attributed to the smaller vascular bundle area, xylem conduits area and the lower leaf hydraulic conductance. However, the reduction in mesophyll conductance was not related to either the cell wall thickness or the development of chloroplast.

Abstract
With global warming, high-temperature stress has become an essential abiotic factor affecting plant growth and survival. However, little knowledge was available of the molecular mechanism that aquatic plants respond to this stress. In the present study, we explore the adaptation mechanism of Spirodela polyrhiza, a surface-water-grown duckweed species broadly distributed worldwide to high temperatures, and analyze its gene expression pattern of S. polyrhiza under heat stress. Three temperature stress treatments, including room temperature group (CK), middle high-temperature group (MTS), and high-temperature group (45 °C, HTS) were set. The results showed that the contents of SOD first increased and then decreased, and those of MDA showed an upward trend under elevated high-temperature stress. According to the transcriptome data, 3145, 3487, and 3089 differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between MTS and CK, HTS and CK, and HTS and MTS, respectively. The transcription factors (TFs) analysis showed that 14 deferentially expressed TFs, including HSF, ERF, WRKY, and GRAS family, were responsive to heat stress, suggesting they might play vital roles in improving resistance to heat stress. In conclusion, S. polyrhiza could resist high temperatures by increasing SOD activity and MDA at the physiological level. Several transcription factors, energy accumulation processes, and cell membranes were involved in high-temperature stress at the molecular level. Our findings are helpful in better grasping the adaptation rules of some aquatic plants to high temperatures.

Abstract
Nitrogen application could alleviate salt stress on crops, but the specific physiological mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, in this study, a pot experiment was conducted to explore the effects of different application rates of nitrogen (0, 0.15, 0.30, and 0.45 g·kg-1) on the growth parameters, osmotic adjustment, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and photosynthesis of rapeseed seedlings planted in the soils with different concentrations of sodium chloride (1.5, 3.5, 5.5, and 7.5 g·kg-1). The results showed that nitrogen could alleviate the inhibition of salt on rapeseed growth, and improve the antioxidant enzyme activities and the contents of non-enzymatic substances, K+, soluble protein (SP), soluble sugar (SS), and proline. Besides, there was a significant correlation between the indexes of active oxygen scavenging system, osmoregulation system, and photosynthesis. Therefore, applying appropriate amount of nitrogen can promote the growth and development of rapeseed seedlings under salt stress, accelerate the scavenging of reactive oxygen species, maintain osmotic balance, and promote photosynthesis. This study will improve our understanding on the mechanism by which nitrogen application alleviates salt stress to crops.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accurate estimation of leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) is important for revealing leaf physiological characteristics and function. However, the Kleaf values are largely incomparable in previous studies for a given species indicating some uncertain influencing factors in Kleaf measurement. RESULT We investigated the potential impacts of plant sampling method, measurement setup, environmental factors, and transpiration steady state identification on Kleaf estimation in Oryza sativa and Cinnamomum camphora using evaporation flux method (EFM). The effects of sampling and rehydration time, the small gravity pressure gradients between water sources and leaves, and water degassing on Kleaf estimation were negligible. As expected, the estimated steady flow rate (E) was significantly affected by multiple environmental factors including airflow around leaf, photosynthetically active radiation (PARa) on leaf surfaces and air temperature. Kleaf decreased by 40% when PARa declined from 1000 to 500 µmol m-2 s-1 and decreased by 15.1% when air temperature increased from 27 to 37 °C. In addition, accurate steady-state flow rate identification and leaf water potential measurement were important for Kleaf estimation. CONCLUSIONS Based on the analysis of influencing factors, we provided a format for reporting the metadata of EFM-based Kleaf to achieve greater comparability among studies and interpretation of differences.

Abstract
Leaf photosynthesis is highly correlated with CO2-diffusion capacities, which are determined by both leaf anatomical traits and environmental stimuli. In the present study, leaf photosynthetic rate (A), stomatal conductance (gs), mesophyll conductance (gm) and the related leaf anatomical traits were studied on rice plants at two growth stages and with two different N supplies, and the response of photosynthesis to temperature (T) was also studied. We found that gm was significantly higher at mid-tillering stage and at high N treatment. The larger gm was related to a larger chloroplast surface area facing intercellular air spaces and a thinner cell wall in comparison with booting stage and zero N treatment. At mid-tillering stage and at high N treatment, gm showed a stronger temperature response. The modelling of the gm-T relationships suggested that, in comparison with booting stage and zero N treatment, the stronger temperature response of gm was related to the higher activation energy of the membrane at mid-tillering stage and at high N treatment. The findings in the present study can enhance our knowledge on the physiological and environmental determinants of photosynthesis.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrients for crop growth and yield formation, as it is an important constituent in a large amount of proteins, cell walls, and membranes related to photosynthesis. Recently, increasing studies have suggested the important roles of photosynthetic induction and stomatal movement under fluctuating light in regulating plant carbon assimilation and water use efficiency. How leaf N content affects photosynthetic induction remains uncertain. Here, we observed a significantly faster photosynthetic induction with the increasing supply of N under fluctuating light conditions. Photosynthetic induction was mainly limited by biochemical processes but not stomatal opening after a stepwise increase in irradiance across different N supplies. Higher N supply enhanced photosynthetic efficiency under constant and fluctuating light conditions but reduced leaf intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi ). This study is mainly focused on clarifying the crucial limitation of photosynthetic induction under different N treatments, which may facilitate the improvement of photosynthetic efficiency under complicated environments in the future.

Abstract
Panicle photosynthesis is crucial for grain yield in cereal crops; however, the limiting factors for panicle photosynthesis are poorly understood, greatly impeding improvement in this trait. In the present study, pot experiments were conducted to investigate the limiting factors for panicle photosynthesis at the anthesis stage in seven rice genotypes and to examine the temporal variations in photosynthesis during the grain filling stage in the Liangyou 287 genotype. At the anthesis stage, leaf and panicle photosynthesis was positively correlated with stomatal conductance and maximum carboxylation rate, which were in turn associated with hydraulic conductance and nitrogen content, respectively. Panicle hydraulic conductance was positively correlated with the area of bundle sheaths in the panicle neck. During grain filling, leaf and panicle photosynthesis remained constant at the early stage but dramatically decreased from 8 to 9 days after anthesis. The trends of variations in panicle photosynthesis were consistent with those in stomatal conductance but not with those in maximum carboxylation rate. At first, the maximum carboxylation rate and respiration rate in the panicle increased, through elevated panicle nitrogen content, but then drastically decreased, as a result of dehydration. The present study systematically investigated the limiting factors for panicle photosynthesis, which are vital for improving photosynthesis and crop yield.

Abstract
In our study, we analyzed 30years of climatological data revealing the bean production risks for Western Amazonia. Climatological profiling showed high daytime and nighttime temperatures combined with high relative humidity and low vapor pressure deficit. Our understanding of the target environment allows us to select trait combinations for reaching higher yields in Amazonian acid soils. Our research was conducted using 64 bean lines with different genetic backgrounds. In high temperatures, we identified three water use efficiency typologies in beans based on detailed data analysis on gasometric exchange. Profligate water spenders and not water conservative accessions showed leaf cooling, and effective photosynthate partitioning to seeds, and these attributes were found to be related to higher photosynthetic efficiency. Thus, water spenders and not savers were recognized as heat resistant in acid soil conditions in Western Amazonia. Genotypes such as BFS 10, SEN 52, SER 323, different SEFs (SEF 73, SEF 10, SEF 40, SEF 70), SCR 56, SMR 173, and SMN 99 presented less negative effects of heat stress on yield. These genotypes could be suitable as parental lines for improving dry seed production. The improved knowledge on water-use efficiency typologies can be used for bean crop improvement efforts as well as further studies aimed at a better understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms of heat resistance in legumes.

PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 2021; 172:1844-1852.

Abstract
Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth, and the relationship between leaf N content and photosynthesis has been widely studied in different species under steady-state light. However, under natural conditions, the light intensity at the leaf level is always changing, inherently heterogeneous in time and space. Therefore, the effect of leaf N content on photosynthesis under dynamic light conditions needs further study. At present, the effects of leaf N content on leaf non-steady-state photosynthesis have not been reported in canola (Brassica napus L.). To clarify the relationship between leaf N content and the speed of the response leaf gas exchange to variations in light intensity, eight genotypes of canola varying in leaf N content were used to study the temporal response of gas exchange to a step increase in irradiance. We found there were significant differences in non-steady-state photosynthesis, physiological characteristics, and anatomical traits across genotypes (the maximum amplitude was about fivefold), despite the lack of contrast under normal, steady-state photosynthesis. In addition, initial stomatal conductance to water vapor in the darkness and leaf N content per leaf area were negatively correlated with the time required to achieve 50% and 100% of the maximum photosynthetic rate. Contrarily, the time required to reach 50% of the maximum stomatal conductance was positively correlated with the time required to achieve 90% of the maximum photosynthetic rate across genotypes. It is concluded that the genotypes of canola with higher N content per leaf area show a faster induction of photosynthesis to fluctuating light conditions.

Rice Cultivar Takanari Has Higher Photosynthetic Performance Under Fluctuating Light Than Koshihikari, Especially Under Limited Nitrogen Supply and Elevated CO 2. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2020; 11:1308.

Abstract
Plants in the field experience dynamic changes of sunlight rather than steady-state irradiation. Therefore, increasing the photosynthetic rate of an individual leaf under fluctuating light is essential for improving crop productivity. The high-yielding indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar Takanari is considered a potential donor of photosynthesis genes because of its higher steady-state photosynthesis at both atmospheric and elevated CO2 concentrations than those of several Japanese commercial cultivars, including Koshihikari. Photosynthetic induction after a sudden increase in light intensity is faster in Takanari than in Koshihikari, but whether the daily carbon gain of Takanari outperforms that of Koshihikari under fluctuating light in the field is unclear. Here we report that Takanari has higher non-steady-state photosynthesis, especially under low nitrogen (N) supply, than Koshihikari. In a pot experiment, Takanari had greater leaf carbon gain during the initial 10 min after a sudden increase in irradiation and higher daily CO2 assimilation under simulated natural fluctuating light, at both atmospheric (400 ppm) and elevated (800 ppm) CO2 concentrations. The electron transport rate during a day under field conditions with low N supply was also higher in Takanari than in Koshihikari. Although the advantages of Takanari were diminished under high N supply, photosynthetic N use efficiency was consistently higher in Takanari than in Koshihikari, under both low and high N supply. This study demonstrates that Takanari is a promising donor parent to use in breeding programs aimed at increasing CO2 assimilation in a wide range of environments, including future higher CO2 concentrations.

It Is Hot in the Sun: Antarctic Mosses Have High Temperature Optima for Photosynthesis Despite Cold Climate. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2020; 11:1178.

Abstract
The terrestrial flora of Antarctica's frozen continent is restricted to sparse ice-free areas and dominated by lichens and bryophytes. These plants frequently battle sub-zero temperatures, extreme winds and reduced water availability; all influencing their ability to survive and grow. Antarctic mosses, however, can have canopy temperatures well above air temperature. At midday, canopy temperatures can exceed 15°C, depending on moss turf water content. In this study, the optimum temperature of photosynthesis was determined for six Antarctic moss species: Bryum pseudotriquetrum, Ceratodon purpureus, Chorisodontium aciphyllum, Polytrichastrum alpinum, Sanionia uncinata, and Schistidium antarctici collected from King George Island (maritime Antarctica) and/or the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica. Both chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange showed maximum values of electron transport rate occurred at canopy temperatures higher than 20°C. The optimum temperature for both net assimilation of CO2 and photoprotective heat dissipation of three East Antarctic species was 20-30°C and at temperatures below 10°C, mesophyll conductance did not significantly differ from 0. Maximum mitochondrial respiration rates occurred at temperatures higher than 35°C and were lower by around 80% at 5°C. Despite the extreme cold conditions that Antarctic mosses face over winter, the photosynthetic apparatus appears optimised to warm temperatures. Our estimation of the total carbon balance suggests that survival in this cold environment may rely on a capacity to maximize photosynthesis for brief periods during summer and minimize respiratory carbon losses in cold conditions.

Abstract
Haze and cloudy weather reduce photo-synthetically active radiation (PAR), which affects the formation of crop yield and nitrogen (N) fertilizer utilization.. We conducted field trails in normal year and severe winter haze year, aiming to compare the difference of photosynthesis and N uptake in winter rapeseed under different N levels. Daily sunshine hours and averaged radiation intensity in winter haze year decreased by 54.1% and 33.3% respectively as compared with the past 30 years. Diurnal variation of net photosynthetic rate in winter haze day was 16.2% lower than that of sunny day. Leaf area and photosynthetic capacity decreased significantly during winter haze year. The shoot biomass and N uptake at the rosette stage accounted for only 9.6% and 26.6% of the total growth period in winter haze year, while 24.4% and 70.5% in normal year, respectively. However, in winter haze year, as the top dressing of N application increasing after the rosette stage, shoot biomass increased gradually. In order to achieve the target yield of 2.5 t ha-1, after suffering winter haze, it is necessary to apply additional 73.1 kg N ha-1. In conclusion, the haze climate reduced the radiation intensity and stability, leading to a decline in photosynthetic productivity in winter oilseed rape. Applying higher N fertilizer after winter haze can compensate the negative influence and ensure rapeseed yield.

Abstract
Photosynthesis is highly sensitive to high temperature stress, and with the rising global temperature, it is meaningful to investigate the response of photosynthesis to growth temperature and its relationship with leaf anatomy plasticity. We planted 21 cultivars including eight indica cultivars, eight japonica cultivars, and five javanica cultivars in pot experiments under high growth temperature (HT, 38/28°C, day/night) and control treatment (CK, 30/28°C, day/night). Photosynthetic rate (A), stomatal conductance (gs ), transpiration rate (E), stomatal density (SD), vein density (VD), minor vein area (SVA), and major vein area (LVA) were measured after 30 treatment days. Results showed HT significantly increased A, gs , and E, while significantly decreased SD and LVA. There was no significant difference in A among the three subspecies both under CK and HT, while the javanica subspecies had higher gs , E, SVA, and LVA under HT, and the indica cultivars had higher VD and SD both under CK and HT. The javanica subspecies had higher relative value (HT/CK) of A, gs , and E, while difference was not observed in the relative value of SD, VD, and LVA among the three subspecies. The relative value of A was positively related to that of gs , while the latter was not correlated with the relative value of SD, VD, SVA, and LVA. Overall, the results suggested the increase of A and gs at HT was not attributed to leaf anatomy plasticity in respect of stomata and vein under HT.

Abstract
For land plants, water is the principal governor of growth. Photosynthetic performance is highly dependent on the stable and suitable water status of leaves, which is balanced by the water transport capacity, the water loss rate as well as the water capacitance of the plant. This review discusses the links between leaf water status and photosynthesis, specifically focussing on the coordination of CO2 and water transport within leaves, and the potential role of leaf capacitance and elasticity on CO2 and water transport.

Abstract
Variation in temperature (T) is usually accompanied by changes in leaf water potential (Ψleaf ), which may influence mesophyll conductance (gm ). However, the effects of Ψleaf on gm have not yet been considered in models of the gm response to temperature. Temperature responses of gm and Ψleaf and the response of gm to Ψleaf were studied in rice (Oryza sativa) and wheat (Triticum aestivum), and then an empirical model of Ψleaf was incorporated into an existing gm -T model. In wheat, Ψleaf was dramatically decreased with increasing T, whereas in rice Ψleaf was less sensitive or insensitive to T. Without taking Ψleaf into account, gm for wheat showed no response to T. However, at a given Ψleaf , gm was significantly higher at high temperature compared with low. After incorporating the function of Ψleaf into the gm -T model, we suggest that the gm -T relationship can be influenced by the activation and deactivation energy for membrane permeability, Ψleaf gradient between temperatures, and the sensitivity of gm to Ψleaf , below a threshold (Ψleaf,0 ). The data presented here suggest that Ψleaf plays an important role in the gm -T relationship and should be considered in future studies related to the temperature response of gm and photosynthesis.
