Leaf physiological responses of Petunia as a function of midday leaf water potential (Ψleaf). Stomatal conductance (gs, panel A), photosynthesis (A, panel B), and quantum yield of PSII (ФPSII, panel C) were measured by a leaf photosynthesis measurement system and midday leaf water potential (Ψleaf, panel D) was measured using thermocouple psychrometers. Substrate water content treatments: 0.40 (circles), 0.30 (diamonds); 0.20 (squares), and 0.10 m3·m–3 (triangles). Closed symbols indicate data collected during the drying period and open symbols indicate data collected after substrate water content thresholds had been reached. P- and r-values indicate the results from Spearman’s rank order correlation performed on the combined data.
