Ch a, chlorophyll a; Ch b, chlorophyll b; A, net photosynthetic rate; gs, stomatal conductance; Ci, intercellular CO2 concentration; E, transpiration rate. Values are means ± SE (n = 6). The values followed by different letters significantly differed at P<0.05 according to Duncan's test. P>Ff indicate comparisons between treatments; Ff, effect of flooding stress.
