Turgor and the transport of CO₂ and water across the cuticle (epidermis) of leaves by Boyer, John S.

“…Leaf photosynthesis relies on CO₂ diffusing in while water vapour diffuses out. When stomata close, cuticle waxes on the epidermal tissues increasingly affect…”

Impact of cuticle on calculations of the CO2 concentration inside leaves by Boyer, John S

“…MAIN CONCLUSION : Water vapor over-estimates the CO ₂ entering leaves during photosynthesis because the cuticle and epidermis transmit more water vapor than CO…”

Sugar Input, Metabolism, and Signaling Mediated by Invertase： Roles in Development, Yield Potential, and Response to Drought and Heat by Ruan, Yong-Ling, Jin, Ye, Yang, Yue-Jian, Li, Guo-Jing, Boyer, John S.

“…Invertase （INV） hydrolyzes sucrose into glucose and fructose, thereby playing key roles in primary metabolism and plant development. Based on their pH optima…”

Why small fluxes matter: the case and approaches for improving measurements of photosynthesis and (photo) respiration by Hanson, David T., Stutz, Samantha S., Boyer, John S.

“…Since its inception, the Farquhar et al. (1980) model of photosynthesis has been a mainstay for relating biochemistry to environmental conditions from…”

An in Vivo Imaging Assay Detects Spatial Variability in Glucose Release from Plant Roots by Voothuluru, Priyamvada, Braun, David M., Boyer, John S.

“…Plants secrete a plethora of metabolites into the rhizosphere that allow them to obtain nutrients necessary for growth and modify microbial communities around…”

Pectate chemistry links cell expansion to wall deposition in Chara corallina by Proseus, Timothy E., Boyer, John S.

“…Pectate (polygalacturonic acid) acts as a chelator to bind calcium and form cross-links that hold adjacent pectate polymers and thus plant cell walls together…”

Enzyme-Less Growth in Chara and Terrestrial Plants by Boyer, John S

“…Enzyme-less chemistry appears to control the growth rate of the green alga Chara corallina. The chemistry occurs in the wall where a calcium pectate cycle…”

Starch and the control of kernel number in maize at low water potentials by Zinselmeier, C, Jeong, B.R, Boyer, J.S

“…After reproduction is initiated in plants, subsequent reproductive development is sometimes interrupted, which decreases the final number of seeds and fruits…”

Growth‐induced water potentials and the growth of maize leaves by Tang, An‐Ching, Boyer, John S.

“…Profiles of water potential (Ψw) were measured from the soil through the plant to the tip of growing leaves of fully established maize (Zea mays L.). The…”

Turgor, temperature and the growth of plant cells: using Chara corallina as a model system by Proseus, Timothy E., Zhu, Guo‐Li, Boyer, John S.

“…Rapid changes in turgor pressure (P) and temperature (T) are giving new information about the mechanisms of plant growth. In the present work, single internode…”

Sucrose feeding reverses shade-induced kernel losses in maize by Hiyane, Rie, Hiyane, Shinichi, Tang, An Ching, Boyer, John S

“…BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Water limitations can inhibit photosynthesis and change gene expression in ways that diminish or prevent reproductive development in…”

Functional reversion to identify controlling genes in multigenic responses: analysis of floral abortion by Boyer, John S, McLaughlin, John E

“…In many situations, organisms respond to stimuli by altering the activity of large numbers of genes. Among these, certain ones are likely to control the…”

Calcium deprivation disrupts enlargement of Chara corallina cells: further evidence for the calcium pectate cycle by Proseus, Timothy E, Boyer, John S

“…Pectin is a normal constituent of cell walls of green plants. When supplied externally to live cells or walls isolated from the large-celled green alga Chara…”

Growth‐induced water potentials originate from wall yielding during growth by Boyer, John S.

“…Multicellular plants display growth‐induced water potentials that generate tensions on water in the apoplast and move water into the growing cells. The…”

Differences in membrane selectivity drive phloem transport to the apoplast from which maize florets develop by Tang, An-Ching, Boyer, John S

“…Background and AimsFloral development depends on photosynthetic products delivered by the phloem. Previous work suggested the path to the flower involved…”

Calcium pectate chemistry causes growth to be stored in Chara corallina: a test of the pectate cycle by PROSEUS, TIMOTHY E., BOYER, JOHN S.

“…ABSTRACT Calcium pectate chemistry was reported to control the growth rate of cells of Chara corallina, and required turgor pressure (P) to do so. Accordingly,…”

Sugar-responsive gene expression, invertase activity, and senescence in aborting maize ovaries at low water potentials by McLaughlin, J.E, Boyer, J.S

“…Background and Aims Ovary abortion can occur in maize (Zea mays) if water deficits lower the water potential (psi(w)) sufficiently to inhibit photosynthesis…”
