Despite its relevance, protein regulation, metabolic adjustment, and the physiological status
of plants under drought is not well understood in relation to the role of nitrogen fixation in …

The predicted worldwide increase of arid areas and water stress episodes will strongly
affect crop production. Numerous plants have developed specific morphological and …

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis has been shown to improve maize tolerance to
different drought stress scenarios by regulating a wide range of host plants aquaporins. The …

Future climatic conditions, including rising atmospheric CO 2 and temperature may increase
photosynthesis and, consequently, plant production. A larger knowledge of legume …

The expansion of the world’s population requires the development of high production
agriculture. For this purpose, it is essential to identify target points conditioning crop …

Elevated CO 2 may decrease alfalfa forage quality and in vitro digestibility through a drop in
crude protein and an enhancement of fibre content. The aim of the present study was to …

Studies have suggested that increased root hydraulic conductivity in mycorrhizal roots could
be the result of increased cell‐to‐cell water flux via aquaporins. This study aimed to …

Although plant performance under elevated CO 2 has been extensively studied in the past
little is known about photosynthetic performance changing simultaneously CO 2 , water …

The predicted worldwide increase in arid areas and water stress episodes will strongly affect
crop production. Plants have developed a wide diversity of physiological mechanisms for …

Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) can exhibit photosynthetic down-regulation when grown in
greenhouse conditions under elevated atmospheric CO 2 . This forage legume can establish a …
