Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect A short photoperiod reduced the transpiration rate in the light of Scots pine seedlings by about 10%.
- Observation After 6 weeks of preconditioning the transpiration rate of the seedlings was reduced nearly to the dark transpiration rate.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the near-dark transpiration rate after 6 weeks as indicating that the stomata were almost closed.
