Table 4. Correlations of stomatal conductance (gs) with net photosynthesis rate (PN) and transpiration rate (Tr) among six genotypes.
The measurements were conducted with six genotypes during 9:30–11:00 at each measurement day. WW, well-watered; DS, drought stress; LRH, lower relative air humidity; MRH, moderate relative air humidity; HRH, higher relative air humidity. The daily average relative air humidity of LRH, MRH and HRH were 16.4%, 25.9% and 3 7.8% respectively.
| Group | WW | DS | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gs-PN | gs-Tr | gs-PN | gs-Tr | |
| LRH | 0.9460** | 0.8968** | 0.9663** | 0.9820** |
| MRH | 0.9100** | 0.9376** | 0.9096** | 0.9837** |
| HRH | 0.9547** | 0.6741** | 0.8222** | 0.9491** |
