Effect of biochemical and biophysical factors on the response of photosynthesis to palisade mesophyll length to width (L:W) ratio. The factors were Vc,max, Jmax, cell wall thickness of palisade mesophyll (tcw), and CO2 permeability of the chloroplast envelope (PCO2). The extents of airspace formation in palisade mesophyll were low, medium, and high. The anisotropy factor during growth was 0.50. Photosynthesis was calculated at 400 µmol mol−1 CO2, stomatal conductance of 0.15 mol m−2 s−1, and irradiance of 1500 µmol m−2 s−1.
