Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Incompletely unfolded upper tender leaves had considerable photosynthetic capacity.
- Observation Middle stem leaves were the main site of plant photosynthesis.
- Observation Lower position leaves exhibited lower photosynthetic capacity.
- Recommendation The authors suggest pruning could promote tender leaf formation and increase plant photosynthetic efficiency.
