Effects of nano oxide particles on the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of okra plant under water deficiency by Wang Jiyue, Xu Jiajun, Xie Rongrong, Chen Nian, Yang Mingli, Tian Xiaojian, Shi Denghong

“…Photosynthetic parameters like photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), stomatal conductance and water use efficiency (WUE) were measured with a portable photosynthesis system. The results demonstrated that both ANPs and SNPs can promote the growth and photosynthesis activity of okra plants, with SNPs exhibiting a stronger effect compared to ANPs. …”

Why cutting respiratory CO2 loss from crops is possible, practicable, and prudential by Jaya Joshi, Jeffrey S. Amthor, Donald R. McCarty, Carlos D. Messina, Mark A. Wilson, A. Harvey Millar, Andrew D. Hanson

“…Abstract Plants release back to the atmosphere about half of the CO2 they capture by photosynthesis. Decreasing the rate of crop respiration could therefore potentially increase yields, store more carbon in the soil and draw down atmospheric CO2. …”
