Representative responses of gsthermal and gs to a 90% drop in PPFD for two accessions: PI455257 and PI525728. gsthermal was measured from thermal imaging as a proxy for gs. Each gsthermal response curve was measured on a single leaf, acclimated to PPFD = 750 µmol m−2 s−1 for 40 min, then PPFD was reduced by 90% for 60 min at t = 0, indicated by an arrow. On a subset of plants, including the two shown here, the protocol was immediately repeated to measure gs using the gas exchange.
