Notes: A = net photosynthesis; g_s = stomatal conductance; E = transpiration rate; WUE = water use efficiency; f_o = initial fluorescence; f_v/f_o = maximum quantum yield of photochemical and non-photochemical process in photosystem II; f_v/f_m = maximum efficiency of photosystem II and TCC = total chlorophyll content. Residual factor = Inline graphic = 0.350.
