Physical adsorption of nitrogen at low temperature (79 K) was employed to estimate the leaf area exposed to the intercellular air space (mesophyll surface area) per fresh unit mass of the flag leaf of six wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) at anthesis. The employed technique was able to detect differences among cultivars. Mesophyll surface area of flag leaves for wheat ranged from 3.24 to 8.92 m2 g-1 and was higher than those previously published for Ligustrum lucidum Aiton using the same technique. Differences between means were attributed to the contrasting mesophyll anatomy of these species.
