Seasonal decline in leaf photosynthesis in perennial switchgrass explained by sink limitations and water deficit

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Mauricio Tejera-Nieves et al. from the Nanjing Agricultural University, China have published the research work: Seasonal decline in leaf photosynthesis in perennial switchgrass explained by sink limitations and water deficit, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: Switchgrass leaf photosynthesis decreased by ~50% during the latter half of the growing season.
  • how: To resolve these interacting and potentially conflicting effects of source-sink relations and water deficit on the seasonal changes of photosynthesis the authors studied the seasonal dynamics of photosynthesis in switchgrass representing a fastgrowing perennial grass under rainfed and experimentally induced . . .
