The key role of cell walls in setting mesophyll conductance to CO2 (gm) and, consequently,
photosynthesis is reviewed. First, the theoretical properties of cell walls that can affect gm …

Leaves are beautifully specialized organs designed to maximize the use of light and CO2 for
photosynthesis. Engineering leaf anatomy therefore holds great potential to enhance …

Stomatal conductance (gs) and mesophyll conductance (gm) represent major constraints to
photosynthetic rate (A), and these traits are expected to coordinate with leaf hydraulic …

Understanding the physiological responses of crops to drought is important for ensuring
sustained crop productivity under climate change, which is expected to exacerbate the …

Photosynthesis is the basis of all life on Earth. Surprisingly, until very recently, data on
photosynthesis, photosynthetic efficiencies, and photosynthesis limitations in terrestrial land …

Until recently, few data were available on photosynthesis and its underlying mechanistically
limiting factors in plants, other than crops and model species. Currently, a new large pool of …

Photosynthesis in bryophytes and lycophytes has received less attention than terrestrial
plant groups. In particular, few studies have addressed the nonstomatal diffusion …

The leaf intercellular airspace (IAS) is generally considered to have high conductance to
CO2 diffusion relative to the liquid phase. While previous studies accounted for leaf-level …

Drought stress significantly affects cotton's net photosynthetic rate (A) by restraining stomatal
(gs) and mesophyll conductance (gm) as well as perturbing its biochemical process …

More efficient gas exchange strategies under dynamic light environments have been
hypothesised to contribute to the dominance of angiosperms in the vascular plant flora …
