Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Soybean had lower stem sap flow, transpiration and stomatal conductance than cotton at all irrigation levels.
- Observation Soybean had smaller stomatal area than cotton.
- Observation Soybean had larger leaf area and heavier root dry matter than cotton.
- Observation Soybean had higher leaf temperature than cotton.
- Intervention effect Water stress decreased stem sap flow, transpiration, conductance and assimilation more in soybean than cotton.
- Intervention effect Water stress increased leaf temperature more in soybean than cotton.
- Intervention effect Soybean stomatal area decreased nonsignificantly under water stress.
- Intervention effect Soybean stomatal density was not affected by water stress.
- Intervention effect Cotton stomatal area decreased significantly under water stress.
- Mechanism The authors attribute reduced soybean transpiration to reduced stomatal conductance.
- Mechanism The authors suggest reduced soybean stem sap flow underlies lower conductance.
- Mechanism The authors suggest lower root moisture absorption efficiency might reduce soybean stem sap flow.
- Mechanism The authors attribute cotton’s higher transpiration to higher stomatal conductance.
- Mechanism The authors infer higher conductance and transpiration suppressed leaf warming and thereby preserved assimilation under water stress.
