Functional constraints of CAM leaf anatomy : tight cell packing is associated with increased CAM function across a gradient of CAM expression

Increased cell size, increased leaf succulence, reduced intercellular air space (IAS), and reduced surface of mesophyll exposed to IAS (L(mes)/area) are traits associated with the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthetic pathway. An examination was carried out to determine whether these ana...
