Abiotic stress, acclimation, and adaptation in carbon fixation processes (2022)
Book Chapter
Murchie, E. H., McAusland, L., & Burgess, A. J. (2022). Abiotic stress, acclimation, and adaptation in carbon fixation processes. In A. Ruban, C. H. Foyer, & E. H. Murchie (Eds.), Photosynthesis in Action: Harvesting Light, Generating Electrons, Fixing Carbon (103-132). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-823781-6.00011-3

Chloroplast CO2 assimilation rate is highly sensitive to environmental changes, and this has a great influence on productivity. Changes in temperature, light, humidity, nutrients, and salinity can all affect processes that limit photosynthesis. In th...

Chlorophyll fluorescence on the fast timescale (2018)
Book Chapter
Ajigboye, O. O., Ray, R. V., & Murchie, E. H. (2018). Chlorophyll fluorescence on the fast timescale. In S. Covshoff (Ed.), Photosynthesis: Methods and Protocols, 95-104. Springer Publishing Company. doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-7786-4_6

Chlorophyll fluorescence is a rapid and non-invasive tool used for probing the activity of photosynthesis that can be used in vivo and in the field. It is highly relevant to the demands of high-throughput crop phenotyping and can be automated or manu... Read More about Chlorophyll fluorescence on the fast timescale.

Adaptation for climate-sensitive crops using agroforestry: case studies for coffee and rice (2015)
Book Chapter
Lin, B., Murchie, E., & Burgess, A. (2015). Adaptation for climate-sensitive crops using agroforestry: case studies for coffee and rice. In C. K. Ong, C. R. Black, & J.
