Abstract excerpt
Eleven varieties of Sorghum bicolor, subjected to PEG-mediated drought stress were compared for their photosynthetic performance. The varieties differed in their relative water content over a range of PEG concentrations (0-25%). CO2 assimilation, stomatal conductance and the quantum yield of PSII electron transport decreased with increasing PEG concentrations in all varieties. However the intercellular CO2...
