From the #AppsPlantSci Non-model Plants special issue Techniques and challenges in studying photosynthetic diversity in freshwater submerged vascular plants (by @ellliieee.bsky.social, @wickellomics.bsky.social, @kheyduk.bsky.social, et al) doi.org/10.1002/aps3... #photosynthesis #aquaticplants
Various leaf cross sections and views of leaf surfaces of submerged aquatic species. From left to right and clockwise:  Leaf surface of Littorella uniflora, a leaf cross section of L.  uniflora, leaf cross section of Vallisneria sp., the adaxial leaf surface of Vallisneria sp., leaf cross section of Egeria densa, and the rosette growing tip of E. densa.
