Effect of local illumination on the photosynthetic rate of the adjacent region in the same maize leaves. (A) photosynthetic induction under the dark–light transition in the local regions or photosynthetic rate under steady light intensity in the adjacent region; (B) stomatal conductance under the dark–light transition in the local regions or under steady light intensity in the adjacent region; (C) intercellular CO₂ concentration under the dark–light transition in the local regions or region under steady light intensity in the adjacent; (D) stomatal limitation under the dark–light transition in the local regions or under steady light intensity in the adjacent region. C_i, intercellular CO₂ concentration; D–L transition, dark–light transition; G_s, stomatal conductance; L_s, stomatal limitation; P_n, photosynthetic rate; SL treatment, steady light treatment.
