TABLE 2.
Mean initial slopes calculated from the A/Ci curves for the four genotypes grown at three different CO2 concentrations. Slopes were from linear regressions fitted to the first 3-4 points on each A/Ci curve. Values are means of the 16th leaf from four different plants for each genotype ± one standard deviation. A two-factor ANOVA (growth CO2 concentration x genotype) was highly significant (p < 0.01) for both growth CO2 concentration and genotype.
