These curves typically assume that parameters such as V<sub>cmax <\/sub>and J<sub>max<\/sub> respond to temperature in fixed, prescribed ways.<\/p>\n<p>But we know observations tell a different story.<\/p>\n<p>Across species and ecosystems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The thermal optimum of photosynthesis (T<sub>opt<\/sub>) increases when plants grow in warmer conditions.<\/li>\n<li>The maximum assimilation rate at that optimum (A<sub>opt<\/sub>) often declines at high growth temperatures.<\/li>\n<li>The ratio of J<sub>max25<\/sub> to V<sub>cmax25<\/sub> decreases with warming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In other words, plants acclimate. But how plants adjust their photosynthesis to long-term changes in temperature isn\u2019t fully understood. Most large-scale models account for this issue using empirical adjustments, for example by allowing activation energies or entropy terms in Arrhenius equations to vary with growth temperature. These approaches improve the model output, but they require parameter fitting and often differ by plant functional type (PFT).<\/p>\n<p>But a core question remains: Why does T<sub>opt <\/sub>shift with growth temperature? What mechanism explains this acclimation? A new paper led by LEMONTREE PhD student, Wenyao Gan entitled \u201cAn eco-evolutionary optimality model explains the acclimated temperature response of photosynthesis\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/nph.71062\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>New Phytologist <\/em><\/a>tackles this issue.<\/p>\n<h2>An eco-evolutionary optimality approach<\/h2>\n<p>Wenyao\u2019s study addresses this using the sub-daily P-model, built on eco-evolutionary optimality (EEO) theory. Rather than prescribing how photosynthetic parameters should change, the model assumes that plants adjust traits to maximise carbon gain relative to costs under prevailing environmental conditions. These adjustments emerge dynamically from environmental drivers such as temperature, light, vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and CO\u2082.<\/p>\n<p>In this framework:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ratio of electron transport capacity (J<sub>max25<\/sub>) to carboxylation capacity (V<sub>cmax25<\/sub>) adjusts optimally.<\/li>\n<li>Stomatal behaviour adapts in coordination with photosynthetic capacity.<\/li>\n<li>No empirical temperature-dependent tuning parameters are required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What we wanted to know is whether this optimality framework can reproduce the observed thermal acclimation and the answer is yes!<\/p>\n<p>Model simulations show that under high light, T<sub>opt<\/sub> increases strongly with growth temperature from ~25\u00b0C when plants grow at 10\u00b0C to ~38\u00b0C when they grow at 40\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, this shift is not imposed. It emerges from changing balance between the Rubisco-limited rates (A<sub>c <\/sub>and A<sub>j<\/sub>) and electron-transport limitation (J)<\/p>\n<p>At cooler growth temperatures, the temperature optimum of photosynthesis often lies in the electron transport\u2013limited regime. As growth temperature rises, the relative balance between these two limitations shifts. Because J<sub>max25<\/sub> declines relative to V<sub>cmax25<\/sub> under warming, the switch between A<sub>j<\/sub> and A<sub>c<\/sub> occurs at higher instantaneous temperatures. The result is a rightward shift in T<sub>opt.<\/sub><\/p>\n<p>This means T<sub>opt<\/sub> is not determined by a single biochemical parameter. It is an emergent property of coordinated adjustments between electron transport, carboxylation and stomatal conductance.<\/p>\n<p>The model also reproduces the observed decline in J<sub>max25<\/sub>\/V<sub>cmax25 <\/sub>with warming \u2014 a pattern long reported in experiments but poorly explained mechanistically.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2830\" style=\"width: 546px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2830 \" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/lemontree\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2026\/02\/Wenyao-blog-fig-1-295x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"546\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/lemontree\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2026\/02\/Wenyao-blog-fig-1-295x300.png 295w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/lemontree\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/190\/2026\/02\/Wenyao-blog-fig-1.png 704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2830\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 1.
