Table 2. Results of one-way ANOVA testing differences between control and all treatments in maximum electron transport rate (ETRmax, μmol e−m–2 s–1), initial slope of the RLC (α) and saturation irradiance (Ek, μmolphotons m–2 s–1), productivity (P, gCO2 gDW–1), and P/R ratios for the whole plant (P/Rplant), photosynthetic tissue (P/Rps), and non-photosynthetic tissue (P/Rnps).
Post hoc analyses are performed using the Student–Newman–Keuls method. Significant values (p < 0.05) are shown in bold.
