Table A6.
Intrinsic Water Use Efficiency of Different Field-Grown Tomato Varieties at Two Different Stages: Stage 1: 51 DAT, 34 °C and Stage 2: 86 DAT, 41 °C. The Values Represent the Mean ± Standard Error. Different Letters within each Row Indicate Significant Differences between the Observed Values under Different Temperature Treatments within each Variety. The Varieties Have Been Ordered from High to Low Percentage Increase of Intrinsic Water Use Efficiency from Stage 1 to Stage 2.
