Mesophyll layers act as significant barriers to gas movement, influencing how efficiently plants conduct photosynthesis. Previous models often neglected this process or used simplified assumptions ...

Vegetation solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is linked to photosynthetic activities and has shown great potential for studying the global carbon cycle. As the most widely used leaf ...

1. Leaf Structure: C4 plants typically have a distinct leaf anatomy, with two types of cells involved in photosynthesis: mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells. This allows for efficient CO₂ fixation ...

A more realistic view of mesophyll conductance should include i) a decomposition of resistive components on the CO 2 pathway such as cell wall and membrane, cytosol, chloroplast envelope, and stroma ...

Fortunately, evolution has solved these issues with C4 photosynthesis. C4 plants recruit bundle sheath cells, which normally serve as leaf vein support, to photosynthesize alongside mesophyll cells.

It was proved that the protoplasts prepared from mesophyll of Nicotiana tabacum are infected by tobacco mosaic virus. The infection occurred when purified tobacco mosaic virus particles were added to ...

Key to the new estimate is a better representation of a process called mesophyll diffusion — how OCS and CO2 move from leaves into chloroplasts where carbon fixation occurs. Understanding mesophyll ...

Lianhong Gu, a co-author of the study and a photosynthesis expert at ORNL, played a key role in developing the mesophyll conductance model, which tracks the diffusion of OCS in leaves and its ...

Plant CO2 uptake rises by nearly one third in new global estimates Date: October 21, 2024 Source: DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Summary: Plants the world over are absorbing about 31% more ...
