Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Severe water stress caused about an 80% decline in oat net photosynthetic rate at all studied stages.
- Intervention effect Boot-stage stress reduced photosynthetic sensitivity to later anthesis-to-grain-formation stress.
- Intervention effect Leaf diffusion resistance and relative leaf water content recovered completely within 1 to 6 days after rewatering.
- Intervention effect Photosynthetic recovery after anthesis-to-grain-formation stress was slower and incomplete relative to other stress stages.
- Intervention effect Plants stressed only at boot stage had significantly higher photosynthetic rate than controls after adequate watering.
- Recommendation The authors proposed leaf diffusion resistance and net photosynthetic rate as aids for water deficit limits and irrigation scheduling.
