TL;DR: Low mesophyll conductance to CO2 was the main cause for low photosynthesis in ferns and fern allies, which, in turn, was associated with thick cell walls and reduced chloroplast distribution towards intercellular mesophyLL air spaces.

TL;DR: A balanced colimitation by the three limitations of photosynthetic capacity is finally reached in angiosperms, and the implications of this new knowledge for future biotechnological attempts to improve crop photosynthesis are discussed.

TL;DR: This review discusses the links between leaf water status and photosynthesis, specifically focussing on the coordination of CO2 and water transport within leaves and the potential role of leaf capacitance and elasticity on CO2and water transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the mesophyll conductance within the leaf has been receiving attention in the recent years as a key player determining photosynthesis both across species and in response to the environment; furthermore, gm estimation allows for disentangling the complete set of photosynthesis underlying mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the bulk modulus of elasticity (e) as a suitable parameter to reflect both leaf structure and function, and an inverse relationship between e and An and mesophyll conductance (gm ) is postulated.
