"Limitations to photosynthesis in bryophytes: certainties and uncertain" by Alicia V. Perera-Castro, Melinda J. Waterman et al.
Bryophytes are the group of land plants with the lowest photosynthetic rates, which was considered to be a consequence of their higher anatomical CO2 diffusional limitation compared with tracheophytes. However, the most recent studies assessing limitations due to biochemistry and mesophyll conductance in bryophytes reveal discrepancies based on the methodology used. In this study, we compared data calculated from two different methodologies for estimating mesophyll conductance: variable J and the curve-fitting method. Although correlated, mesophyll conductance estimated by the curve-fitting me...
