Table 2.

Green leaf area, relative chlorophyll content, relative number of green leaves/plants, photosynthesis rate, and transpiration rate of the six stay-green introgression lines and their parents evaluated under control condition (W100, 100% soil field capacity) and two post-flowering drought conditions (W75, 75% soil field capacity; W50, 50% soil field capacity).
