The green leaves of plants are photosynthetically active organs which are able to store absorbed solar energy in reduced organic compounds. These assimilates represent the pool for both energy and compounds which have to meet the plant’s requirements for growth and development. Although the dry matter production of a plant does not correlate well with net leaf photosynthesis, high-yielding crops must have high photosynthetic rates combined with energetically efficient dark respiration and assimilate partitioning which favours the harvested plant organ. Agricultural techniques therefore aim to maintain high overall photosynthetic capacity, i.e. high assimilatory rates and quantum yields, under a variety of environmental conditions. Enhancing the flexibility of photosynthesis is also the guiding principle for adaptations and modifications in leaf anatomy and morphology, generally supported by suitable leaf orientation, stand geometry and density (Chapter 6).
