Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation During ageing, upper-surface stomatal resistance increases before lower-surface resistance.
- Observation Upper-surface stomata may begin ageing before lower-surface stomata.
- Association At an early ageing stage, declining photosynthesis is negatively correlated with upper-surface stomatal resistance.
- Association At an early ageing stage, declining photosynthesis is not related to lower-surface stomatal resistance.
- Mechanism The initial decrease in photosynthesis and increase in upper-surface resistance occur simultaneously without a causal relation.
- Association At advanced ageing, lower-surface resistance increases and declining photosynthesis becomes related to resistance of both surfaces.
- Association Increasing illumination stepwise increases photosynthesis in relation to reduced resistance on each leaf surface.
- Observation At low light, lower-surface stomatal resistance is low while upper-surface resistance is relatively high.
- Observation Upper stomata appear to need higher light intensity to open than lower stomata.
- Association Stomatal resistance on both leaf surfaces is unrelated to stomatal frequency.
