Carbon partitioning between shoot organs following early leaf removal

Open Access

Table 2

Impact of early leaf removal on leaf assimilation (P_n) and stomatal conductance (gs), at 6 days after full bloom and defoliation.

Treatment¹	DF-0	DF-6	DF-10
Pn (gmol CO₂ m"²s⁻¹)	9.7b	10.9b	13.8a
Gs (mmol m⁻² s⁻¹)	241.7b	284.2a	301.6a
Pn/shoot (gmol CO₂s⁻¹)	0.94a	0.69b	0.33c

Means within the column followed by the same letter are not significantly different at P < 0.05 by Tukey's HSD test.

DF-0, no leaves removed; DF-6, leaves removed from 6 basal nodes; DF-10, leaves removed from 10 basal nodes at bloom
