The physiological response of Populus tremula x alba leaves to the down-regulation of PIP1 aquaporin gene expression under no water stress. [PDF]
, 2013 In order to study the role of PIP1 aquaporins in leaf water and CO2 transport, several lines of PIP1-deficient transgenic Populus tremula x alba were generated using a reverse genetic approach. These transgenic lines displayed no visible developmental or

Photosynthetica, 2023 The mesophyll anatomical traits are essential factors for efficient light capture, CO2 diffusion, and hydraulics in leaves. At the same time, leaf hydraulics are governed by the xylem anatomical traits.

Cell wall composition strongly influences mesophyll conductance in gymnosperms [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2020 SummaryCell wall thickness is widely recognized as one of the main determinants of mesophyll conductance to CO2 (gm). However, little is known about the components that regulate effective CO2 diffusivity in the cell wall (i.e. the ratio between actual porosity and tortuosity, the other two biophysical diffusion properties of cell walls).

Have We Selected for Higher Mesophyll Conductance in Domesticating Soybean? [PDF]
Plant Cell EnvironABSTRACTSoybean (Glycine max) is the single most important global source of vegetable protein. Yield improvements per unit land area are needed to avoid further expansion onto natural systems. Mesophyll conductance (gm) quantifies the ease with which CO2 can diffuse from the sub‐stomatal cavity to Rubisco. Increasing gm is attractive since it increases

Optimization of leaf morphology in relation to leaf water status: A theory. [PDF]
, 2020 The leaf economic traits such as leaf area, maximum carbon assimilation rate, and venation are all correlated and related to water availability. Furthermore, leaves are often broad and large in humid areas and narrower in arid/semiarid and hot and cold ...

Ploidy influences wheat mesophyll cell geometry, packing and leaf function
Plant Direct, 2021 Leaf function is influenced by leaf structure, which is itself related not only to the spatial arrangement of constituent mesophyll cells, but also their size and shape.

Mesophyll conductance: walls, membranes and spatial complexity [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 SummaryA significant resistance to CO2 diffusion is imposed by mesophyll tissue inside leaves. Mesophyll resistance, rm (or its reciprocal, mesophyll conductance, gm), reduces the rate at which Rubisco can fix CO2, increasing the water and nitrogen costs of carbon acquisition.

Photosynthetica, 2020 Our experiment was conducted to understand the effects of foliar sprays of paclobutrazol (PBZ), its mixture with abscisic acid (ABA), or water (control) on leaf carbon-use efficiency (CUEl), photosynthesis, and respiration of Euonymus japonicus seedlings.
