BackgroundPlants invest photosynthates in construction and maintenance of their structures and functions. Such investments are considered costs. These costs are recovered by the CO2assimilation rate (A) in the leaves, and thusAis regarded as the immediate, short-term benefit. In photosynthesizing leaves, CO2diffusion from the air to the carboxylation site is hindered by several structural and biochemical barriers. CO2diffusion from the intercellular air space to the chloroplast stroma is obstructed by the mesophyll resistance. The inverses is the mesophyll conductance (gm). Whether various plants realize an optimalgm, and how much investment is needed for a relevantgm, remain unsolved.ScopeThis review examines relationships among leaf construction costs (CC), leaf maintenance costs (MC) andgmin various plants under diverse growth conditions. Through a literature survey, we demonstrate a strong linear relationship between leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf CC. The overall correlation of CC vs.gmacross plant phylogenetic groups is weak, but significant trends are evident within specific groups and/or environments. Investment in CC is necessary for an increase in LMA and mesophyll cell surface area (Smes). This allows the leaf to accommodate more chloroplasts, thus increasingA. However, increases in LMA and/orSmesoften accompany other changes, such as cell wall thickening, which diminishesgm. Such factors that make the correlations of CC andgmelusive are identified.ConclusionsFor evaluation of the contribution ofgmto recover CC, leaf life span is the key factor. The estimation of MC in relation togm, especially in terms of costs required to regulate aquaporins, could be essential for efficient control ofgmover the short term. Over the long term, costs are mainly reflected in CC, while benefits also include ultimate fitness attributes in terms of integrated carbon gain over the life of a leaf, plant survival and reproductive output.
