Diffusive and Metabolic Limitations to Photosynthesis under Drought and Salinity in C<sub>3</sub> Plants

Jaume Flexas, Josefina Bota, Francesco Loreto et al. · 1 May 2004

Drought and salinity are two widespread environmental conditions leading to low water availability for plants. Low water availability is considered the main environmental factor limiting photosynthesis and, consequently, plant growth and yield worldwide. There has been a long-standing controversy as to whether drought and salt stresses mainly limit photosynthesis through diffusive resistances or by metabolic…

Salinity and crop yield

Christian Zörb, Christoph‐Martin Geilfus, Karl‐Josef Dietz · 30 Jul 2018

Abstract Thirty crop species provide 90% of our food, most of which display severe yield losses under moderate salinity. Securing and augmenting agricultural yield in times of global warming and population increase is urgent and should, aside from ameliorating saline soils, include attempts to increase crop plant salt tolerance. This short review provides an overview…

Significance of Flavonoids in Plant Resistance and Enhancement of Their Biosynthesis

D. Treutter · 1 Nov 2005

The roles of flavonoids in plant defence against pathogens, herbivores, and environmental stress are reviewed and their significant contribution to plant resistance is discussed. The induction of flavonoids is of particular interest for gathering evidence of their roles. Tools are mentioned which may enhance flavonoid biosynthesis and accumulation. These include metabolic engineering and UV light.…

Boron in Plant Biology

Patrick H. Brown, Nacer Bellaloui, Monika Wimmer et al. · 1 Mar 2002

Abstract: The interest of biologists in boron (B) has largely been focused on its role in plants for which B was established as essential in 1923 (Warington, 1923 [296] ). Evidence that B has a biological role in other organisms was first indicated by the establishment of essentiality of B for diatoms (Smyth and Dugger,…

Proline, a multifaceted signalling molecule in plant responses to abiotic stress: understanding the physiological mechanisms

Uttam Kumar Ghosh, Md. Nahidul Islam, Md. Nurealam Siddiqui et al. · 18 Nov 2021

Abiotic stresses have a detrimental impact on plant growth and productivity and are a major threat to sustainable crop production in rapidly changing environments. Proline, an important amino acid, plays an important role in maintaining the metabolism and growth of plants under abiotic stress conditions. Many insights indicate a positive relationship between proline accumulation and…

Plant Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Plant Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Plant Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Plant Biology use?
Plant Biology uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Plant Biology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Plant Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Plant Biology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Plant Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Plant Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Plant Biology?
Plant Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Plant Biology template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Plant Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Plant Biology template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Plant Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Plant Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Plant Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
