ADVANCES IN PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

 

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS: The scientific articles must be written in English with an appropriate caption followed by author/co-author’s name(s), address; Introduction; Running Text Matter: subdivided into different sections (as 2.0, 2.1, 2.1.1, 3.0 and so on); Referring names of workers with years in Running Text (e.g., Hemantaranjan and Garg, 1988 or Hemantaranjan et al., 1999 if more than two authors, to be given in the running text); Future Scope and Conclusions; and References (e.g., Hemantaranjan, A., O.K. Garg and C.Ramesh. 1998. Iron nutrition and interactions in pulse crops. J.Plant Nutr., 27: 99-108). Besides these, Figures, Graphs or Photo Plates of extremely high quality should be submitted in original with a copy. Since the circulation of these treatises is very wide, anyhow the international standard has to be maintained. A sample format (coming in Volume 4) is being given for  accordingly doing the needful. I hope this will serve the purpose. However, I am here to solve any query in this regard.

INTRODUCTION

1.1. Drought and its importance for plant life. Scope of the present review

Due to the importance of drought as a limiting factor, and of photosynthesis as a key process for plant life, many studies have been conducted to assess drought effects on photosynthesis. Excellent reviews have been written about this subject, either as specific reviews (Boyer, 1976; Lawlor, 1983; Schulze, 1986a; Kaiser, 1987; Sharkey, 1990; Chaves, 1991; Cornic et al., 1992; Lawlor and Uprety, 1993; Cornic, 1994; Ort et al., 1994; Lawlor, 1995; Cornic and Massacci, 1996) and as a part of more extensive reviews on the effects of drought on plant function (Hsiao, 1973; Bradford and Hsiao, 1982; Hanson and Hitz, 1982; Schulze, 1986b; Berkowitz, 1998; Puigdefébregas and Pugnaire, 1999).

 

2. THE EFFECTS OF DROUGHT ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS: STOMATAL AND NON-STOMATAL COMPONENTS.

2.1. Background: methods for determination of stomatal and non-stomatal components of photosynthetic limitations

2.1.1. Gas-exchange analyses

Gas-exchange analysis has been one of the most used tools for the evaluation of drought effects on photosynthesis, especially since the description of a proper model relating gas exchange to leaf biochemistry (Farquhar et al., 1980; von Caemmerer and Farquhar, 1981; Farquhar and Sharkey, 1982), accompanied by the development of portable infra-red gas-exchange analysers (IRGAs). Proper reviews about the technique and model of gas-exchange analysis are available (Farquhar and Sharkey, 1982; Lambers et al., 1998).
