Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Increasing water deficit steadily decreased five photosynthetic performance and yield measures.
- Association J-step, I-step, K-band, and L-band increased with water deficit.
- Mechanism Water deficit may restrict light harvesting and electron transport.
- Intervention effect Leaf rbcL and rbcS transcripts were up-regulated at the later water stress stage.
- Mechanism Authors interpret rbcL and rbcS up-regulation as helping repair PSII injury and maintain PSII activity.
