- Association Changes in diurnal malic acid consumption were associated with significant inhibition of relative growth rate.
- Observation The specific photosynthetic structure area component was most affected.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that photosynthetic impairment inhibited growth in young plantlets under extreme temperature.
