Deputy Under Secretary of Energy David KlausLANL: Plants Found To Regulate Leaf Temperature To Boost Carbon Uptake
The thermal traits of a leaf, critical for photosynthesis, may be under strong evolutionary selection that occurs in response to environmental temperatures. Here a thermal leaf image details temperature variation, which greatly affects plant functions since temperature is closely linked to metabolic kinetics—the plant’s pathways and speed of reactions that support growth and other functions essential for survival.
