Cell wall thickness and composition are involved in photosynthetic limitation
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 …

Mesophyll conductance: walls, membranes and spatial complexity
A 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 …

Structural organization of the spongy mesophyll
Many plant leaves have two layers of photosynthetic tissue: the palisade and spongy
mesophyll. Whereas palisade mesophyll consists of tightly packed columnar cells, the …

It is hot in the sun: Antarctic mosses have high temperature optima for photosynthesis despite cold climate
The terrestrial flora of Antarctica's frozen continent is restricted to sparse ice-free areas and
dominated by lichens and bryophytes. These plants frequently battle sub-zero temperatures …
