Effects of water stress on maize leaf photosynthesis
This experiment was carried out on the potted plants of maize. Three different maize varieties (Shendan 10, Yedan13 and Danyu13) were chosen as experimental materials. This paper compared the effects of different water stress intensity on leaf photosynthesis of different drought-resistant maize hybrids. The results indicated that the photosynthetic rate of maize leaf under water stress went down with the increasing of water stress, and the photosynthetic rate decreased obviously under severe water stress.
