[引用][C] Mesophyll conductance: internal insights of leaf carbon exchange

H Griffiths, BR Helliker - Plant, Cell & Environment, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Mesophyll conductance, gm, representing the transfer of CO2 from sub-stomatal cavity to
chloroplast, is a process comprising∼ 20 to∼ 50% of photosynthetic limitation (Evans & von …

What does optimization theory actually predict about crown profiles of photosynthetic capacity when models incorporate greater realism?

TN Buckley, A Cescatti… - Plant, Cell & Environment, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Measured profiles of photosynthetic capacity in plant crowns typically do not match those of
average irradiance: the ratio of capacity to irradiance decreases as irradiance increases …

Diffusional conductances to CO2 as a target for increasing photosynthesis and photosynthetic water-use efficiency

J Flexas, Ü Niinemets, A Gallé, MM Barbour… - Photosynthesis …, 2013 - Springer
A key objective for sustainable agriculture and forestry is to breed plants with both high
carbon gain and water-use efficiency (WUE). At the level of leaf physiology, this implies …
