Abstract excerpt
In plants, green non-foliar organs are able to perform photosynthesis just as leaves do, and the seed-enclosing pod acts as an essential photosynthetic organ in legume and Brassica species. To date, the contribution of pod photosynthesis to seed yield and related components still remains largely unexplored, and in Arabidopsis thaliana, the photosynthetic activity of the silique (pod) is unknown. In this study, an...
