Transportation in Plants
Transportation in plants is a vital process that ensures the distribution of water, nutrients, and organic compounds throughout the plant’s various parts. Through transpiration, water is absorbed by the roots and transported upwards through the xylem vessels, driven by a combination of factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Meanwhile, translocation facilitates the movement…

Photorespiration
Photorespiration is a complex process that takes place in plants when the concentration of CO2 inside the leaves decreases. This process reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis and ultimately leads to decreased plant growth and yield. In this chapter, we provide an in-depth overview of photorespiration, its biochemistry, regulation, and its impact on plant growth and…
