The Kinetics of Mesophyll Conductance and Photorespiration During Light Induction [PDF]
PlantsMesophyll conductance to CO2 (gm) act as a significant limiting factor influencing the CO2 assimilation rate (AN) during photosynthetic induction. However, the effect of vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on gm kinetics during light induction is not well ...

Variation among Soybean Cultivars in Mesophyll Conductance and Leaf Water Use Efficiency [PDF]
Plants, 2016 Improving water use efficiency (WUE) may prove a useful way to adapt crop species to drought. Since the recognition of the importance of mesophyll conductance to CO2 movement from inside stomatal pores to the sites of photosynthetic carboxylation, there ...

Expression of a CO2-permeable aquaporin enhances mesophyll conductance in the C4 species Setaria viridis [PDF]
eLife, 2021 A fundamental limitation of photosynthetic carbon fixation is the availability of CO2. In C4 plants, primary carboxylation occurs in mesophyll cytosol, and little is known about the role of CO2 diffusion in facilitating C4 photosynthesis.

Three Methods of Estimating Mesophyll Conductance Agree Regarding its CO2 Sensitivity in the Rubisco-Limited Ci Range [PDF]
Plants, 2018 Whether the mesophyll conductance to CO2 movement (gm) within leaves of C3 plants changes with CO2 concentration remains a matter of debate, particularly at low CO2 concentrations.
