Limitations to photosynthesis in bryophytes: certainties and uncertainties regarding methodology Journal of Experimental Botany, 2022 (Ref: 16643)
Authors:
Perera-Castro A.V.Waterman M.J.Robinson S.A.Flexas J.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Bryophytes are the group of land plants with the lowest photosynthetic rates, which was considered to be a consequence of their higher anatomical CO2 diffusional limitation compared with tracheophytes. However…

Basking in the sun: how mosses photosynthesise and survive in Antarctica Photosynthesis Research, 2023 (Ref: 16924)
Authors:
Yin H.Perera-Castro A.V.Randall K.L.Turnbull J.D.Waterman M.J.Dunn J.Robinson S.A.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic environment is extremely cold, windy and dry. Ozone depletion has resulted in increasing ultraviolet-B radiation, and increasing greenhouse gases and decreasing stratospheric ozone have altered Antarctica's climate.

Boundary-line trade-off in bryophytes between UV photoprotection and photosynthetic capacity, but not desiccation tolerance Annals of Botany, 2025 (Ref: 17422)
Authors:
Perera-Castro A.V.Solarte M.E.Egawa A.Brito-Gutiérrez P.Waterman M.J.Robinson S.A.Flexas J.Gulías J.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Background and Aims … Coping with both UV-B radiation and desiccation was essential for early land plants. In bryophytes, UV-B screening and desiccation tolerance partially depend on the physicochemical features of cell walls, which may also constrain photosynthesis.

It Is Hot in the Sun: Antarctic Mosses Have High Temperature Optima for Photosynthesis Despite Cold Climate Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 (Ref: 16646)
Authors:
Perera-Castro A.V.Waterman M.J.Turnbull J.D.Ashcroft M.B.McKinley E.
