Leaves are beautifully specialized organs designed to maximize the use of light and CO₂ for photosynthesis. Engineering leaf anatomy therefore holds great potential to enhance photosynthetic capacity.

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 ...

Osaka, Japan – Plants have an impressive ability to regenerate damaged tissues, but how they do it is not fully understood. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered the mechanisms involved in this ...
