Mesophyll diffusion conductance to CO2 is a key photosynthetic trait that has been studied
intensively in the past years. The intention of the present review is to update knowledge of …

The aim of the present work is to review the literature concerning photosynthesis of
Mediterranean plants. First, we briefly review the most important environmental constraints …

Foliage photosynthetic and structural traits were studied in 15 species with a wide range of
foliage anatomies to gain insight into the importance of key anatomical traits in the limitation …

Ferns and fern allies have low photosynthetic rates compared with seed plants. Their
photosynthesis is thought to be limited principally by physical CO 2 diffusion from the …

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 …

Potassium (K) influences the photosynthesis process in a number of ways; however, the
mechanisms underlying the photosynthetic response to differences in K supply are not well …

Leaf mass per area (LMA) has been suggested to negatively affect the mesophyll
conductance to CO 2 (gm), which is the most limiting factor for area‐based photosynthesis …

In sclerophylls, photosynthesis is particularly strongly limited by mesophyll diffusion
resistance from substomatal cavities to chloroplasts (rm), but the controls on diffusion limits …

Increases in leaf mass per area (LMA) are commonly observed in response to
environmental stresses and are achieved through increases in leaf thickness and/or leaf …

P roteaceae species in south‐western A ustralia occur on phosphorus‐(P) impoverished
soils. Their leaves contain very low P levels, but have relatively high rates of photosynthesis …
