Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Relative growth rates declined linearly as normalized leaf area increased after leaves completed more than 20% of growth.
- Observation Those larger leaves underwent strictly expansive growth.
- Intervention effect Drought stress significantly reduced relative growth rate in larger leaves.
- Method / resource The Lockhart expansion equation was inadequate for evaluating young-leaf growth.
- Intervention effect Drought stress had virtually no influence on relative growth rate in small leaves.
