Characterisation of the biochemical and genetic mechanisms that underpin plant responses to water deficit are central to the development of more productive drought-tolerant biomass crops, including fast-growing poplars.

Genetic determinants of stomatal conductance
Leaf gas exchange is influenced by stomatal size, density, distribution between the leaf adaxial and abaxial sides, as well as by pore dimensions.

Differential drought tolerance in tree populations from contrasting elevations
To predict the ecological consequences of climate change for a widely distributed tree species, it is essential to develop a deep understanding of the ecophysiological responses of populations from contrasting climates...

Nitrogen and water use efficiencies under elevated CO2
Water and nitrogen are two limiting resources for biomass production of terrestrial vegetation. Palmroth et al. employ optimization theory to quantify interactions between marginal water and nitrogen resource use...
