摘　要：

植物光合作用过程中, 大气中的CO₂需要克服气孔和叶肉细胞等阻力传输到羧化位点。CO₂从气孔下腔传输到羧化位点的阻力称为叶肉阻力, 其倒数即为叶肉导度。近十年内, 叶肉导度已经成为光合作用研究领域的一个重要方面。本文首先系统地阐述了叶肉导度的组成及各部分所占的比重; 然后通过与气孔导度的比较, 分析叶肉导度的大小及其对光合作用的影响; 最后阐述了叶肉导度对环境变化的响应, 并分析了其中可能的原因。

Abstract:

Photosynthesis requires CO₂ to diffuse from atmosphere to chloroplasts, through stomata and mesophyll cells. The resistance from substomata to carboxylation sites is mesophyll resistance, the reciprocal of which is termed mesophyll conductance (g_m). In the recent 10 years, g_m has been one of the most important parts in photosynthesis research. In this paper, we firstly discussed the components of g_m, and further estimated their relative contributions to g_m. Then, the magnitude of g_m and its contribution to photosynthesis were analyzed through comparison with stomatal conductance (g_s). Finally, rapid response of g_m to environmental changes and the possible reasons were discussed.
