Minimum conductance (gw,min) in leaves is important for water relations in land plants. Yet, its regulation is unclear due to measurement constraints.Cuticle conductance to water vapor (gcw) was estimated from the difference between calculated and direct measurement of CO2concentration in the leaf airspace (Ci) of amphi-stomatous tobacco and sunflower. We estimatedgcwin a series of light and dark experiments, and partitionedgw,mininto cuticle and stomatal components. Some leaves were detached to simulate severe drought through desiccation conditions wheregw,minis generally determined.Between light and dark experiments eachgcwwas in close agreement, and successfully corrected the discrepancies of calculations from direct measurements. In the dark, either stomatal or cuticle conductance dominated thegw,min, suggesting either of them can control the minimum water loss. In the detached leaves,gcwcould not be estimated likely due to unsaturation in the leaf airspace, andgw,minwas progressively underestimated.Besides cuticle, leaf water status is a potential pitfall of the standard gas exchange model. Our technique is useful to study the minimal gas exchange as well as to refine the model.
