Photosynthesis and Growth of Camelina and Canola in Response to Water Deficit and Applied Nitrogen - Libiao Gao, Claude D. Caldwell, Yunfei Jiang - Crop Science Society of America 2018
Smart Earth Seeds /
Summary: Nitrogen and water availabilities are two important environmental factors affecting crop growth and yield. Effects of applied Nitrogen and water deficit imposition on photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, and shoot and root biomass accumulation in camelina and canola were compared in a greenhouse. Water deficit significantly decreased Pn, E, gs, and shoot/root biomass ratio in both crops. The relative reduction of Pn, E, and gs caused by water deficit was greater in canola than in camelina. Under drought conditions, applied N enhanced Pn and gs but had less pronounced effects on E in camelina. Camelina maintained higher Pn...
