Investigating the microstructure of plant leaves in 3D with lab-based X-ray Computed Tomography

Background Leaf cellular architecture plays an important role in setting limits for carbon assimilation and, thus, photosynthetic performance. However, the low density, fine structure, and sensitivity to desiccation of plant tissue has presented challenges to its quantification. Classical methods o...
