Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Close planting significantly reduced light intensity within sorghum populations.
- Intervention effect Close planting lowered other leaf anatomical characteristics associated with shade.
- Intervention effect High planting density reduced net photosynthetic rate versus low density.
- Intervention effect High planting density reduced stomatal conductance versus low density.
- Observation Approximately 62 protein spots changed expression under high planting density.
- Observation Mass spectrometry identified 22 proteins associated with photosynthesis.
- Mechanism The authors link shading-induced photosynthetic depression to leaf structure and CO2 transport.
- Mechanism The authors link shading-induced photosynthetic depression to electron transport, assimilatory power and Calvin-cycle enzymes.
- Mechanism Heat shock protein was proposed to have an important role in photoprotection.
- Mechanism Oxygen-evolving enhancer protein was proposed to have an important role in photoprotection.
- Method / resource The authors suggested a model for regulation of photosynthesis under mutual shading.
