Abstract excerpt
The cell wall plays a key role in determining mesophyll conductance (gm) and photosynthetic capacity. While the impact of wall thickness (Tcw) on gm is well understood, the influence of wall composition and structural interactions on Tcw and gm remains unclear, and it is unknown whether these factors have been affected during crop domestication. In this study, we examined 25 wild and 13 domesticated Gossypium...
