  2. Crassulacean acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crassulacean_acid_metabolism

    Another group of plants employ "CAM-cycling", in which their stomata do not open at night; the plants instead recycle CO 2 produced by respiration as well as storing some CO 2 during the day. [5] Plants showing inducible CAM and CAM-cycling are typically found in conditions where periods of water shortage alternate with periods when water is ...

  3. Photorespiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorespiration

    Crassulacean acid metabolism allows plants to conduct most of their gas exchange in the cooler night-time air, sequestering carbon in 4-carbon sugars which can be released to the photosynthesizing cells during the day. This allows CAM plants to minimize water loss (transpiration) by maintaining closed

  4. Chlororespiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlororespiration

    In the experiment, the plants in water deficit were analysed with fluorescence imaging technique. This form of analysis detected increased levels of PTOX, and NAD(P)H activity within the plant. [3] An increase in these two molecules led to the initiation of chlororespiration. [3] N-propyl gallate was also added to these water deficit plants.

  5. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    These include the amount of light available, the amount of leaf area a plant has to capture light (shading by other plants is a major limitation of photosynthesis), the rate at which carbon dioxide can be supplied to the chloroplasts to support photosynthesis, the availability of water, and the availability of suitable temperatures for carrying ...

  6. Soil respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_respiration

    Soil respiration refers to the production of carbon dioxide when soil organisms respire. This includes respiration of plant roots, the rhizosphere, microbes and fauna.. Soil respiration is a key ecosystem process that releases carbon from the soil in the form of CO 2.

  7. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

    Cellular respiration may be described as a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then release waste products. [1] Cellular respiration is a vital process that occurs in the cells of all [[plants and some bacteria ]].

    The time of day or season you water indoor plants doesn't matter as much. Generally, you should avoid watering houseplants in the evening when there is no sunlight. And, like outdoor plants ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_physiology

    A germination rate experiment. Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. [1]Plant physiologists study fundamental processes of plants, such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, tropisms, nastic movements, photoperiodism, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms, environmental stress physiology, seed ...
