Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Photosynthesis in the third pair of Perilla leaves declined after expansion and more rapidly near abscission.
- Observation The photosynthetic decline began proximally and spread distally across the lamina.
- Observation Leaf respiration stayed approximately constant until a transient rise and final fall near abscission.
- Observation Leaf chlorophyll content did not change during the gradual photosynthetic decline.
- Observation Carbon-14 incorporation measurements showed a similar change in photosynthesis.
- Observation Label incorporation into protein declined faster than total leaf protein content.
