AbstractThe spongy mesophyll layer in leaves is ubiquitous among vascular plants, yet its structure is relatively unknown and typically described as a disordered assemblage of isodiametric cells. We characterized spongy mesophyll structure among diverse taxa using X-ray microCT imaging and found that leaves with small cell sizes, high cell packing densities, and close vein spacing were congruent with the isodiametric paradigm. When these structural traits exceeded well-defined thresholds, the spongy mesophyll domain was instead tessellated with an emergent topological motif of an irregular honeycomb that minimizes cellular investment and obeys Euler’s Law of space filling. Our data suggest spongy mesophyll is governed by allometric scaling laws, with two distinct topologies optimized for either photosynthetic performance or minimal resource investment.One Sentence SummaryConserved topological motifs in the spongy mesophyll are coordinated with leaf photosynthetic performance.
