Maximum CO2 diffusion inside leaves is limited by the scaling of cell size and genome size

G. Theroux-Rancourt, A. B. Roddy, J. M. Earles, M. E. Gilbert, M. A. Zwieniecki, C. K. Boyce, D. Tholen, A. J. McElrone, K. A. Simonin, C. R. Brodersen

The paper shows that genome size limits cell size, which in turn affects mesophyll surface area and CO2 diffusion efficiency in leaves.

The scaling of genome size and cell size limits maximum rates of photosynthesis with implications for ecological strategies

A. Roddy, G. Theroux-Rancourt, T. Abbo, J. W. Benedetti, C. R. Brodersen, M. Castro, S. Castro, A. B. Gilbride, B. M. Jensen, G.-F. Jiang, J. A. Perkins, S. D. Perkins, J. Loureiro, Z. Syed, R. A. Thompson, , K. A. Simonin

The paper links genome size to cell size and photosynthesis rates in plants, showing genome size predicts metabolic capacity and ecological strategies.

Genome downsizing, physiological novelty, and the global dominance of flowering plants

K. A. Simonin, A. B. Roddy

This paper shows that genome downsizing in angiosperms enabled smaller cells and higher gas exchange rates, contributing to their ecological dominance over ferns and gymnosperms during the Cretaceous.
