Defining the maize leaf transcriptome. To profile the leaf transcriptome, we isolated mRNA from each of the four developmental zones, sheared it and used it to prime cDNA synthesis (mRNA-seq).

A scanning electron microscope reveals nematodes (highlighted in green) inside the spongy mesophyll of a European beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaf infected with beech leaf disease (BLD).

Fruits and Veggies Under the Microscope You may think you know these foods, but you've never seen them like this. By Discover Staff. ... Cross-section through the leaf of a leek. The spongy tissue, ...

On the lower half of the leaf are spongy mesophyll cells. These have air spaces between them to let gases flow. ... If you had a microscope, you would be able to see this even better.

This means that carbon dioxide travels faster from inside the leaf to the carbon-fixing enzyme Rubisco and consequently increases photosynthesis without loss of additional water. Phys.org ...

Researchers have engineered mesophyll conductance, which plays a key role in photosynthesis and refers to the ease with which CO2 can move through a leaf’s cells before ultimately becoming sugar ...

Revise the structure of a leaf and how it has several adaptations for photosynthesis with this BBC Bitesize Biology KS3 guide.
