Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Leaves are structurally and functionally heterogeneous organs, and their photosynthetic performance often varies across the lamina. Environmental stress, particularly drought, is often assumed to increase this heterogeneity by disrupting stomatal behaviour, mesophyll function, and pigment content. However, the extent to which moderate water deficit alters the spatial organisation of gas exchange,...
