Seasonal decline in leaf photosynthesis in perennial switchgrass explained by sink limitations and water deficit
Leaf photosynthesis of perennial grasses usually decreases markedly from early to late summer, even when the canopy remains green and environmental conditions are favorable for photosynthesis. Understanding the physiological basis of this photosynthetic decline reveals the potential for yield improv...
