All measurements were taken 24 h into treatment. LER, leaf elongation rate; NPR, net photosynthetic rate; gs, stomatal conductance; Ci, intercellular CO2; T, transpiration rate; Ψleaf, leaf water potential; RWC, relative water content; Tleaf, leaf temperature. Values are means ±SE, n=3–4. Superscript letters indicate significant differences (LSD multiple comparison test, P <0.05).
