Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Extended darkness reduced maize plant growth.
- Intervention effect Extended darkness did not change the net CO2 exchange rate.
- Intervention effect Extended darkness decreased starch accumulation in mature maize leaves.
- Intervention effect Extended darkness decreased total soluble carbohydrate accumulation in mature maize leaves.
- Intervention effect Extended darkness increased the share of daily fixed carbon reserved in mature leaves.
- Observation Transient carbon pools in maize mature leaves were largely soluble carbohydrates and mainly consumed by increased nocturnal respiration.
- Observation Across days, carbon accumulated in maize leaves decreased.
- Observation Across days, the percentage of fixed carbon reserved in maize leaves decreased.
- Observation ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity declined significantly over time.
- Observation Soluble starch synthase activity declined significantly over time.
