Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect Combined ultraviolet-B and water stress caused species differences in stomatal resistance between cucumber and radish.
- Observation Cucumber was identified as highly sensitive to ultraviolet-B radiation.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that reduced leaf diffusive resistance could reduce cucumber growth through increased water stress.
