Cell wall composition in relation to photosynthesis across land plants’ phylogeny: crops as outliers

Abstract

[eng] In the present study, we combine published and novel data on cell wall composition and photosynthesis limitations, including data for all the major land plant’s phylogenetic groups. We provide novel evidence on the importance of cell wall composition in determining mesophyll conductance to CO2 diffusion (gm) across land plants’ phylogeny.
