Photosynthesis under stressful environments: An overview

“Thus, the decrease in photosynthetic rate under stressful conditions (salinity, drought, and temperature) is normally attributed to a suppression in the mesophyll conductance and the stomata closure at moderate and severe stress (Flexas et al. 2004, Chaves et al. 2009).”

The Introduction (page unavailable) identifies stomatal closure and reduced mesophyll conductance as limitations on photosynthesis under drought and salinity; its table also reports both limitations under moderate and severe water deficit. It does not establish the same explanation for temperature stress, which it mentions in the context of down-regulation following impaired CO2 supply. The paper also describes biochemical limitations, so the claim is too broad if read as making stomatal and mesophyll effects the normal explanation across all three stresses. (LLM, conf=0.88)

§ Photosynthesis under stressful environments: An overview > Introduction
What the sources say
- Supportedcites Saibo et al. 2009 source
The section ‘Photosynthesis and related mechanisms affected by abiotic stress’ says drought, salinity and cold induce stomatal closure that reduces the photosynthetic rate, and describes other stress-related limitations. The section ‘Environmental cues regulate photosynthesis through the action of specific transcription factors’ explicitly concludes that both stomatal and non-stomatal changes limit photosynthetic rate under stress. (LLM, conf=0.93)

“A series of experiments with sunflower callus and plants (Santos and Caldeira 1999, Santos et al. 2001, Santos 2004, Akram and Ashraf 2011) have shown that the important precursors of Chl, i.e., glutamate and 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA), decreased in salt-stressed calli and leaves, which indicates that salt stress affects more markedly Chl biosynthesis than Chl breakdown.”

“In addition, the increased ABA contents in both transgenic and wild type plants in response to water stress and/or heat stresses suggest that declines in P N and g s might have been due to ABA-induced stomata closure.”

The Results (pp. 841–842) report increased leaf ABA in both wild-type and transgenic plants under water deficit, heat shock, and their combination, alongside reductions in photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance under stress. The Discussion identifies stomatal limitation as a prominent explanation and relates conductance to ABA, while noting an exception for transgenic plants under combined stress.

“A number of reports showed that stomata usually close during the initial stages of drought stress resulting in increased WUE (net CO 2 assimilation rate/transpiration).Stomata closure is known to have a more inhibitory effect on transpiration of water than that on CO 2 diffusion into the leaf tissues (Chaves et al. 2009, Sikuku et al. 2010).”

The Introduction (page unavailable) says stomata close in response to drought-related signals and that, under mild stress, a small decline in stomatal conductance may save water and improve water-use efficiency. It does not say closure usually occurs in the initial stages of drought or explicitly compare its inhibitory effects on transpiration and CO2 diffusion; it also qualifies the efficiency benefit as a possibility.

In “Photosynthesis and related mechanisms affected by abiotic stress” (page not provided), the review describes lower chloroplast CO₂ availability as a proposed explanation for reduced photosynthesis under very severe drought, but says evidence for reduced RuBP supply instead conflicts with that view.

In the paper
“The amounts of PSII proteins, such as D1, D2, and LHCII as well as mRNA corresponding to genes of psbA, psbD, and cab, also declined markedly due to water deficit; this was ascribed to decreased rates of transcription and translation as well as fast deterioration of proteins and mRNAs (Duan et al. 2006, Liu et al. 2009).”

- Also stated in: § Stress-induced changes · plain
“The dissipation of excitation energy is determined as nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) of Chl fluorescence during photosynthetic electron transport, which significantly correlates with contents of zeaxanthin and antheraxanthin produced during the xanthophyll cycle (Niyogi et al. 1997).”

(1998) reported that the activities of the various C 4 photosynthesis enzymes, such as PEPcase, NADPmalic enzyme (NADP-ME), Rubisco, and fructose-1,6bisphosphatase, decreased 2 to 4 times under drought conditions, whereas the activity of phosphopyruvate dikinase (PPDK) declined 9.1 times in C 4 plant, sugar cane.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
