Summary
• Sorghum bicolor was exposed to free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) and drought at the Maricopa Agricultural Center, AZ, USA, in summer 1998. We predicted that bundle sheath leakiness (Φ) would be insensitive to FACE under well-irrigated (wet) conditions, but would be lower in FACE compared with control-CO2 treatments when irrigation was withheld (dry).
• Leaf and air δ13C values and leaf pi/pa from gas exchange were measured to estimate carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) and F. Midday…

Photosynthetic response of sweet sorghum to drought and re-watering at different growth stages.
- Biology, MedicinePhysiologia plantarum
- 2013
Evaluating the effects of drought and re-watering on the photosynthetic efficiency of sweet sorghum found down regulation of the photochemistry seems to be the main photoprotective/regulative mechanisms, while at late growth stages, the accumulation of compatible solutes likely has a more preponderant role.
Nonstomatal limitations are responsible for drought-induced photosynthetic inhibition in four C4 grasses.

It is concluded that inhibition of photosynthesis in the four C4 grasses under water stress is dependent mainly on biochemical limitations.
Photorespiration in C4 grasses remains slow under drought conditions.

Analysis of amino acids contained in the leaves supported the presence of slow photorespiration rates, but these were slightly faster in Cynodon dactylon than in Paspalum dilatatum and Zoysia japonica, providing evidence that photoreSpiration remained slow under drought conditions.
Light and growth temperature alter carbon isotope discrimination and estimated bundle sheath leakiness in C4 grasses and dicots

It is concluded that conditions favourable to C4 photosynthesis (high temperature and high light) lead to a reduction in leakiness.

It was found that lower values of ∆Lg, ∆Sm and ∆Gm in rice indicated better light-harvesting and light-use capability and also higher grain filling and grain weight of rice.

Reduced photorespiration and increased energy‐use efficiency in young CO2‐enriched sorghum leaves
- Environmental Science
- 2001
The stimulation of C4 photosynthesis at elevated Ca in young leaves was partially due to suppressed photorespiration, and elevated Ca enhanced energy-use efficiency inYoung leaves, possibly by decreasing CO2 leakage from bundle sheath cells, and by decreasing overcycling of the C4 pump.
