The meson-photon transition form factors {gamma}{gamma}*{yields}P (P stands for {pi}, {eta} and {eta}') provide strong constraints on the distribution amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons. In this paper, these transition form factors are calculated under the light-cone perturbative QCD approach, in which both the valence and nonvalence quarks' contributions have been taken into consideration. To be consistent, a unified wave function model is adopted to analyze these form factors. It is shown that with the proper charm component f{sub {eta}}'{sup c}{approx}-30 MeV and a moderate DA with B{approx}0.30, the experimental data on Q{sup 2}F{sub {eta}{gamma}}(Q{sup 2}) and Q{sup 2}F{sub {eta}'{gamma}}(Q{sup 2}) in the whole Q{sup 2} region can be explained simultaneously. Furthermore, a detailed discussion on the form factors' uncertainties caused by the constituent quark masses m{sub q} and m{sub s}, the parameter B, the mixing angle {phi}, and f{sub {eta}'}{sup c} are presented. It is found that, by adjusting these parameters within their reasonable regions, one can improve the form factor to a certain degree but cannot solve the puzzle for Q{sup 2}F{sub {pi}{gamma}}(Q{sup 2}), especially to explain the behavior of the {pi}-{gamma} form factor within the whole Q{sup 2} region consistently. We hope further experimental data on these formmore » factors in the large Q{sup 2} region can clarify the present situation.« less
