Note: For each variable, different lowercase letters indicate statistically significant by Duncan multiple- range test at P < 0.05. Data were expressed as the mean ± standard error of three independent biological replicates. Key: PNmax – maximum photosynthetic rate, AQE – apparent quantum efficiency, LCP – light compensation point, LSP – light saturation point.
