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 photosynthetic capacity.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Mesophyll conductance (gm) has been shown to affect photosynthetic capacity and thus the estimates of terrestrial carbon balance. While there ...

Researchers from the University of Illinois have proven that increases in mesophyll conductance can be engineered and that it leads to increases in photosynthesis. These results were shown in a model ...

Osaka, Japan – Plants have an impressive ability to regenerate damaged tissues, but how they do it is not fully understood. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered the mechanisms involved in this ...
