Highlights• Photosynthetic rate was reduced even under well-watered greenhouse conditions • Stomatal closure predominantly limited photosynthesis under moderate conditions • Mesophyll conductance also contributed to limitation under severe conditions
Highlights• Diurnal variations in eggplant leaf photosynthetic capacity were investigated • Concurrent measurements of gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence were conducted • Vcmax, Jmax, and TPU declined by approximately 15% toward the end of the day
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
