Turgor and the transport of CO(2) and water across the cuticle (epidermis) of leaves
Leaf photosynthesis relies on CO(2) diffusing in while water vapour diffuses out. When stomata close, cuticle waxes on the epidermal tissues increasingly affect this diffusion. Also, changes in turgor can shrink or swell a leaf, varying the cuticle size. In this study, the properties of the cuticle...
