Effect of Cd on Photosynthesis and Transpiration of Excised Leaves of Corn and Sunflower
F. A. BAZZAZ; G. L. ROLFE; ROGER W. CARLSON Physiologia Plantarum 1974. doi:10.1111/j.1399-3054.1974.tb03154.x
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Cd reduced photosynthesis and transpiration in corn leaves.
- Intervention effect Cd reduced photosynthesis and transpiration in sunflower leaves.
- Association Cd inhibition increased with concentration and generally with time.
- Intervention effect In sunflower 18 m M Cd completely inhibited net photosynthesis and transpiration within 45 min.
- Intervention effect At 9 m M Cd, sunflower net photosynthesis fell to 40% of maximum within two hours.
- Intervention effect At 4.5 m M Cd, sunflower net photosynthesis fell to 70% of maximum within two hours.
- Association Corn photosynthetic inhibition was more pronounced than sunflower at all treatment levels.
- Mechanism The coupled inhibition suggested Cd-induced stomatal closure.
