Localization of (photo)respiration and CO2 re-assimilation in tomato leaves investigated with a reaction-diffusion model.

The rate of photosynthesis depends on the CO2 partial pressure near Rubisco, Cc, which is commonly calculated by models using the overall mesophyll resistance. Such models do not explain the difference between the CO2 level in the intercellular air space and Cc mechanistically. This problem can be o...
