It is now well-accepted that leaf respira-tion differs considerably between darkness and light, not only inrate but also in its metabolic pathways and biological functions(Tcherkezet al., 2012).application/pdfen-AU© 2021 The Authors.New PhytologistÓ2021 New Phytologist FoundationUnravelling mechanisms and impacts of day respiration in plant leaves: an introduction to a Virtual Issue202110.1111/nph.171642021-11-28
