Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Terminal drought markedly reduced leaf photosynthesis of chickpea during seed filling
- Intervention effect Subtending leaf net photosynthesis of 10-day-old pods was lower under water stress than in well-watered plants (24 vs 6 micromol m(-2) s(-1))
- Association Leaf photosynthesis decreased further to 4.5 and 0.5 micromol m(-2) s(-1) as water potential fell to -2.3 and -3.3 MPa
- Intervention effect Net photosynthesis of 10-day-old pods was lower under water stress (0.9-1.0 vs -0.1 to -0.8 micromol m(-2) s(-1))
- Association Transpiration rate of pods increased with age in chickpea
- Intervention effect Internal net photosynthesis of pods was similar in well-watered and water-stressed chickpea plants
- Intervention effect Water-stressed pods had significantly higher respiration rates than well-watered pods
- Observation Nearly 80% of injected 13CO2 carbon was recovered in the pod wall 24 h after injection
- Observation The proportion of 13C in chickpea seeds increased from 19% to 32% after 144 h
- Mechanism Internal CO2 recycling in the pod may help maintain seed filling in water-stressed chickpea
