Unraveling main limiting sites of photosynthesis under below and above ground heat stress in cucumber and the alleviatory role of luffa rootstock

Photosynthesis is one of the most thermo-sensitive processes in plants. Although the severity of heat stress could be attenuated by grafting approach, the primary damaged site of photosynthesis system under heat stress and the regulatory mechanism of rootstock-mediated heat tolerance are poorly unde...
