The differences in mesophyll porosity (θias), lateral path lengthening (λ), tortuosity factor (τ), and gaseous conductance of the intercellular airspace (gias) in maize, sorghum, cucumber, and cotton. (A) mesophyll porosity; (B) lateral path lengthening; (C) tortuosity factor; (D) gaseous conductance of the intercellular airspace. Data are means ± standard error (n ≥ 3); different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between different species at the p < 0.05 level.
