Analysis of mesophyll conductance in five understory herbaceous species. [PDF]

Physiol Mol Biol Plants, 2020
Mesophyll conductance (g m) has received over time much less attention than stomatal conductance (g s), although it affects leaf photosynthesis to about the same extent as stomatal conductance does. The objective of this study was to analyze the g m trend in five understory herbaceous species growing in a close-canopy forest in the north-west of Italy.

Higher CO2 Assimilation in Selected Rice Recombinant Inbred Lines Is Driven by Higher CO2 Diffusion and Light Use Efficiency Related to Leaf Anatomy and Mesophyll Cell Density

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Leaf anatomy determining the light distribution within the leaf and exerting influence on CO2 diffusion is considered to have dramatic potential for photosynthesis performance increase.

Variation in leaf mesophyll anatomy of fern species imposes significant effects on leaf gas exchange, light capture, and leaf hydraulic conductance

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).

Morphoanatomical Responses and Stomatal Conductance in Shaded and Sun-Exposed Broussonetia papyrifera Seedlings

Jurnal Sylva Lestari, 2023
Investigating invasive species’ morphoanatomical characteristics, such as leaf area and thickness of vascular tissues and storage cells, can reveal information about their adaptive ability and competitive advantage.

Have We Selected for Higher Mesophyll Conductance in Domesticating Soybean? [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACTSoybean (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

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.

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 ...
