Abstract excerpt
To protect against water loss, land plants have developed the cuticle; however, the cuticle strongly restricts CO2 uptake for photosynthesis. Controlling this trade-off relationship is an important strategy for plant survival, but the extent to which the changes in cuticle affects this relationship is not clear. To evaluate this, we measured CO2 assimilation rate and transpiration rate together in the Arabidopsis...
