Pn, Gs, and Tr refer to the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate, respectively. DAA refers to days after anthesis. ∗, ∗∗, and ns indicate significance at 0.05 and 0.01 levels and no significant difference, respectively. C, T, and C × T refer to cultivar, treatment and the interaction of cultivar with treatment, respectively.
