diffusion across cell membranes is facilitated by aquaporins that provide plants with the …

Linking water relations and hydraulics with photosynthesis

D **ong, M Nadal - The Plant Journal, 2020‏ - Wiley Online Library
For land plants, water is the principal governor of growth. Photosynthetic performance is
highly dependent on the stable and suitable water status of leaves, which is balanced by the …

Differential coordination of stomatal conductance, mesophyll conductance, and leaf hydraulic conductance in response to changing light across species

D **ong, C Douthe, J Flexas - Plant, cell & environment, 2018‏ - Wiley Online Library

Whereas steady-state photosynthetic responses to environmental factors have been …

The photosynthetic capacity in 35 ferns and fern allies: mesophyll CO2 diffusion as a key trait

T Tosens, K Nishida, J Gago, RE Coopman… - New …, 2016‏ - Wiley Online Library
Ferns and fern allies have low photosynthetic rates compared with seed plants. Their
photosynthesis is thought to be limited principally by physical CO 2 diffusion from the …

L Sack, C Scoffoni, GP John, H Poorter… - Journal of …, 2013‏ - academic.oup.com
Leaf vein traits are implicated in the determination of gas exchange rates and plant
performance. These traits are increasingly considered as causal factors affecting the 'leaf …

Leaf anatomy mediates coordination of leaf hydraulic conductance and mesophyll conductance to CO2 in Oryza

D **ong, J Flexas, T Yu, S Peng, J Huang - New Phytologist, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library
Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) and mesophyll conductance (gm) both represent major
constraints to photosynthetic rate (A), and previous studies have suggested that Kleaf and …
