Abstract
The Effect Of Mild Water Stress (−0.5 Mpa Water Potential) On The Rate Of Photosynthesis And Related Parameters In Sunflower And Soybean Plants Was Studied. The Two Species Responded Very Differently: (a) soybean showed a very rapid and marked response which was accompanied by changes in all of the parameters related to photosynthesis and water balance, while the response of sunflower was much more slow; (b) both soybean and sunflower recovered slowly from the stress when rewatered, and the recovery was not complete, reaching values in the range of 50 to 65% compared to the control for CO2 assimilation, the transpiration rate and stomatal conductance. The results when analysed in terms of the ci/ca ratio confirmed the hypothesis that under mild water stress, the reduction in photosynthesis seen is mainly due to the limitation by the stomata of the amount of available CO2.
