Emerging roles for carbonic anhydrase in mesophyll conductance and photosynthesis [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2020 SummaryCarbonic anhydrase (CA) is an abundant protein in most photosynthesizing organisms and higher plants. This review paper considers the physiological importance of the more abundant CA isoforms in photosynthesis, through their effects on CO2 diffusion and other processes in photosynthetic organisms.

The impact of blue light on leaf mesophyll conductance [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2009 Blue light has many direct and indirect effects on photosynthesis. The impact of blue light on mesophyll conductance (g(m)), one of the main diffusive limitation to photosynthesis, was investigated in leaves of Nicotiana tabacum and Platanus orientalis, characterized by high and low g(m), respectively.

Passive phloem loading and long-distance transport in a synthetic tree-on-a-chip [PDF]
, 2017 Vascular plants rely on differences of osmotic pressure to export sugars from regions of synthesis (mature leaves) to sugar sinks (roots, fruits). In this process, known as M\"unch pressure flow, the loading of sugars from photosynthetic cells to the ...

Rho GTPase overexpression impacts leaf internal architecture and mesophyll conductance in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Leaves are built from multiple cell types and are structured to enable the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugars in the process of photosynthesis. Understanding how cell architecture impacts the movement of CO

Impact of short-term extreme temperature events on physiological performance of Salicornia ramosissima J. Woods under optimal and sub-optimal saline conditions [PDF]
, 2019 Increasing extreme temperature climatic events could exert an important effect on plant photosynthetic performance, which could be modulated by the co-occurrence with other environmental factors, such as salinity, in estuarine ecosystems.

PLoS ONE, 2014 Global production of rice (Oryza sativa) grain is limited by water availability and the low 'leaf-level' photosynthetic capacity of many cultivars. Oryza sativa is extremely susceptible to water-deficits; therefore, predicted increases in the frequency ...

Variation in mesophyll conductance among Australian wheat genotypes
Functional Plant Biology, 2014 CO2 diffusion from substomatal intercellular cavities to sites of carboxylation in chloroplasts (mesophyll conductance; gm) limits photosynthetic rate and influences leaf intrinsic water-use efficiency (A/gsw). We investigated genotypic variability of gm and effects of gm on A/gsw among eleven wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under light ...
