e0“A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of water stress on leaf water potential, plant growth, and photosynthesis in purple passionflower ( Passiflora incarnata )”
e4“rate of photosynthetic electron transport and triose phosphate use (TPU) were reduced by ≈30% and ≈45% in the stress treatment compared with the control during the 10% ET irrigation period”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect The 10% ET irrigation lowered leaf water potential compared with control plants in Passiflora incarnata.
- Intervention effect Net CO2 assimilation rates were reduced at 25% and 10% ET compared with 100% ET in Passiflora incarnata.
- Intervention effect The 10% ET irrigation decreased the maximum carboxylation rate allowed by rubisco by about 60%.
- Intervention effect The 10% ET irrigation reduced triose phosphate use (TPU) by about 45% compared with control.
- Intervention effect After recovery, previously stressed plants showed no difference from control in water potential and net CO2 assimilation rates.
- Recommendation Passiflora incarnata plants could adapt well to landscaping situations where extreme drought is expected.
