Other claims from this paper (6)
- Mechanism Under severe drought stress, the decline in net photosynthetic rate in cucumber resulted from stomatal and nonstomatal limitations.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 improved photosynthetic performance of cucumber under moderate drought stress.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 increased palisade cell length and the number of chloroplasts per palisade cell in cucumber under severe drought stress.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 significantly increased grana thickness in cucumber under moderate drought stress.
- Intervention effect Elevated CO2 significantly decreased stomatal density, stomatal width and stomatal aperture on the abaxial leaf surface of cucumber under moderate drought stress.
- Mechanism Elevated CO2 alleviates drought stress in cucumber seedlings by improving drought resistance through stomatal modifications and leaf structure.
