Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Midday ETR and carbon assimilation fell under shade, but less than proportionally to mesh light transmittance.
- Observation Mesh-induced reductions in transmittance and photosynthesis were greater in morning and afternoon than at midday.
- Association Control wheat midday ETR declined progressively with grain-filling age relative to shade treatments.
- Observation Initial photosynthesis differences between shade treatments diminished during grain filling.
- Intervention effect Shade lowered air temperature, especially at midday.
- Intervention effect Severe shade produced the lowest measured canopy temperature.
- Intervention effect Shade delayed senescence at 19 days after anthesis.
- Intervention effect Shade reduced grain weight per ear, mainly at 50% and 10% transmittance.
- Association The decrease in grain weight per ear was not proportional to the decrease in photosynthesis.
- Observation Stem dry matter retranslocation increased under shade.
