The ultrastructure of mesophyll cells from leaves of a catalase-deficient homozygous mutant of barley (RPr 79/4), which grows poorly in air but normally in carbon-dioxide-enriched air, has been ...
Seasonal changes in leaf anatomy and ultrastructure were studied in a sward of Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. grown under Mediterranean field conditions and under water stress. Relative water content ...
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 ...
Chloroplasts are the ancestral members of a structurally diverse family of organelles known as plastids (which also includes proplastids, amyloplasts and chromoplasts). Plastids are responsible for ...
Mesophyll conductance, or the ease with which CO 2 can diffuse through a leaf’s cells before reaching the location where it undergoes carbon fixation, plays a key role in photosynthesis. CO 2 faces ...
All life on earth ultimately relies on energy from the sun, and photosynthesis is the vital link. Photosynthesis generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the universal molecular fuel in living ...
Whether Guard Cells (GCs) carry out photosynthesis has been debated for decades. Earlier studies suggested that guard cell chloroplasts (GCCs) cannot fix CO2 but later studies argued otherwise. Until ...
