The photosynthetic capacity in 35 ferns and fern allies: mesophyll CO2 diffusion as a key trait.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
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.
