Abstract
Introduction and context
The role of cell wall composition in photosynthesis has only recently been proposed. Apparently contradictory results have been reported, but previous studies were often limited to single or closely related species. The aim of the present letter is to combine published and novel data on cell wall composition and photosynthesis limitations, including data for all the major land plant's phylogenetic groups (Supporting Information Methods S1; Dataset S1), to provide novel evidence on the importance of cell wall composition in determining mesophyll conductance to CO2 diffusion (gm) across land plants' phylogeny. We address the hypothesis that the pectin fraction of total major cell wall compounds is positively related to gm and, consequently, to photosynthesis, when pooling species from across the entire phylogeny.
期刊介绍:
New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
