Description
Russell Woodford and co-authors update the fitting tools for photosynthesis curves in C4 leaves, in a methods paper from two thousand twenty-six. C4 plants, like maize and sorghum relatives, concentrate carbon in a way that needs its own model. Gas exchange curves against carbon levels and light reveal the leaf's inner machinery.
One fix improves how a recycling electron flow is set, using values from a model grass. Two fitting routines then read off peak enzyme powers and electron flow rates. A light curve fit adds respiration and yield measures. Outputs come at test heat and at a standard twenty-five degrees. An Excel tool keeps entry easy.
