Article Synopsis
- The frequency of drought is expected to rise due to climate change, which, along with higher atmospheric CO2 levels, will impact crop growth, specifically foxtail millet in this study.
- Experiments showed that elevated CO2 increased starch and antioxidant enzyme levels in millet leaves, enhancing photosynthesis and water use efficiency, particularly under mild drought.
- Under mild drought, higher CO2 concentrations significantly boosted grain yield and spike numbers, suggesting that elevated CO2 can mitigate some negative effects of reduced water availability on millet production.
Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the principal cause of end-stage renal disease. Previous studies have shown that clopidogrel can prevent the early progression of renal injury.
Aim: To elucidate whether clopidogrel is beneficial against DN by using a / mouse model.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how elevated CO2 levels affect photosynthesis in winter wheat, particularly under drought conditions, and focuses on the relationship between source-sink dynamics and photosynthetic acclimation.
- An experiment was conducted in climate chambers with two CO2 concentrations (400 and 600 μmol·mol) and varying soil moisture levels to measure different photosynthetic parameters and plant yield at key growth stages.
- Results indicated that while elevated CO2 improved certain photosynthetic rates during the elongation stage, it negatively impacted photochemical efficiency and related processes during the heading stage, although it still contributed to increased grain yield due to enhanced performance earlier in growth.
Article Synopsis
- * Modern cultivated wheat (like Z9023) showed improved stomatal conductance and photosynthetic performance compared to wild species under elevated CO levels, which may help them adapt to future climate changes.
- * The findings suggest that increasing CO levels could provide opportunities for breeders to develop cultivars with enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, improving resilience against climate change.

We used an OTC (open top chamber) system to study the effects of elevated CO concentration (atmospheric CO concentration + 200 #x03BC;mol·mol) on the growth and photosynthetic physiology of Hylotelephium erythrostictum. Elevated CO concentration decreased the leaf stomatal density of the upper and lower epidermis of H. erythrostictum by 16.
