Response of Leaf Photosynthesis to Vapor Pressure Difference in Rice (Oryza sativa L) Varieties in Relation to Stomatal and Leaf Internal Conductance

In the afternoon when air humidity decreases, leaf photosynthetic rate (Pn) often declines in rice grown under irrigated conditions. To clarify the genotypic difference of Pn in response to humidity, we measured Pn and stomatal conductance (gs) for nine rice varieties with diverse genetic background...
