Abstract excerpt
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an essential substrate for photosynthesis in plants. CO2 is absorbed mainly through the stomata in land plants because all other aerial surfaces are covered by a waxy layer called the cuticle. The cuticle is an important barrier that protects against extreme water loss; however, this anaerobic layer limits CO2 uptake. Simply, in the process of adapting to a terrestrial environment, plants...
