Effects of leaf age during drought and recovery on photosynthesis, mesophyll conductance and leaf anatomy in wheat leaves

Summary statement: Mesophyll conductance (gm) was negatively correlated with wheat leaf age but was positively correlated with the surface area of chloroplasts exposed to intercellular airspaces (Sc). The rate of decline in photosynthetic rate and gm as leaves aged was slower for water-stressed than...
