How succulent leaves of Aizoaceae avoid mesophyll conductance limitations of photosynthesis and survive drought

In several taxa, increasing leaf succulence has been associated with decreasing mesophyll conductance (g (M)) and an increasing dependence on Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). However, in succulent Aizoaceae, the photosynthetic tissues are adjacent to the leaf surfaces with an internal achlorophyl...
