Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO 2: An unappreciated central player in photosynthesis [PDF]
Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO 2 is a key photosynthetic trait that has been studied intensively in the past years. The intention of the present review is to update knowledge of g m, and highlight the important unknown and controversial aspects ...

Responses of leaf stomatal and mesophyll conductance to abiotic stress factors
Plant photosynthesis assimilates CO2 from the atmosphere, and CO2 diffusion efficiency is mainly constrained by stomatal and mesophyll resistance. The stomatal and mesophyll conductance of plants are sensitive to abiotic stress factors, which affect the ...

The importance of mesophyll conductance in regulating forest ecosystem productivity during drought periods [PDF]
Water availability is the most limiting factor to global plant productivity, yet photosynthetic responses to seasonal drought cycles are poorly understood, with conflicting reports on which limiting process is the most important during drought.

GENOTYPICALY IDENTIFYING WHEAT MESOPHYLL CONDUCTANCE REGULATION UNDER PROGRESSIVE DROUGHT STRESS [PDF]
Photosynthesis limitation by CO2 flow constraints from sub-stomatal cavities to carboxylation sites in chloroplasts under drought stress conditions is, at least in some plant species or crops not fully understood, yet. Leaf mesophyll conductance for CO2 (

Estimating mesophyll conductance to CO2: methodology, potential errors, and recommendations [PDF]
The three most commonly used methods for estimating mesophyll conductance (g(m)) are described. They are based on gas exchange measurements either (i) by themselves; (ii) in combination with chlorophyll fluorescence quenching analysis; or (iii) in combination with discrimination against (13)CO(2).

Leaf mesophyll conductance and leaf hydraulic conductance: an introduction to their measurement and coordination [PDF]
Two highly contrasting variables summarizing the efficiency of transport of materials within the leaf are recognized as playing central roles in determining gas exchange and plant performance. This paper summarizes current approaches for the measurement of mesophyll conductance to CO2 (g m) and leaf hydraulic conductance (K leaf) and addresses the ...

Abscisic Acid Induces Rapid Reductions in Mesophyll Conductance to Carbon Dioxide. [PDF]
The rate of photosynthesis (A) of plants exposed to water deficit is a function of stomatal (gs) and mesophyll (gm) conductance determining the availability of CO2 at the site of carboxylation within the chloroplast.

Differential coordination of stomatal conductance, mesophyll conductance, and leaf hydraulic conductance in response to changing light across species [PDF]
AbstractStomatal conductance (gs) and mesophyll conductance (gm) represent major constraints to photosynthetic rate (A), and these traits are expected to coordinate with leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) across species, under both steady‐state and dynamic conditions. However, empirical information about their coordination is scarce.

Cellular perspectives for improving mesophyll conductance. [PDF]
SummaryAfter entering the leaf, CO2 faces an intricate pathway to the site of photosynthetic fixation embedded within the chloroplasts. The efficiency of CO2 flux is hindered by a number of structural and biochemical barriers which, together, define the ease of flow of the gas within the leaf, termed mesophyll conductance.

Long-term effects of red- and blue-light emitting diodes on leaf anatomy and photosynthetic efficiency of three ornamental pot plants [PDF]
Light quality critically affects plant development and growth. Development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) enables the use of narrow band red and/or blue wavelengths as supplementary lighting in ornamental production.
