Table 3.

Results from the tests of the recovery of leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf) during the evaporative flux method (EFM), and during 1 h rehydration in the dark. In the residual test for recovery during the EFM, significance indicates that Kleaf did not fully recover. For the indices of Kleaf recovery during the EFM, and during the 1 h rehydration experiments, significance before the comma indicates some degree of significant recovery, and significance after the comma indicates that Kleaf did not recover fully (see the Materials and methods).
