Morphological, Physiological and Biochemical Changes in the Grape Variety “Hotan Red” Caused by the Occurrence of Stress Under the Influence of Saline–Alkaline Growing Conditions... by Yan Song, Ruxue Li, Long Zhou, Lili Jiang, Xiong Wang

“…Saline–alkali stress resulted in a non-stomatal limitation of photosynthesis in Hotan Red, which was manifested by a decrease in net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance, and an increase in the concentration of intercellular carbon dioxide, in which the net photosynthetic rate reached a minimum value of 3.56 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ under 120 mmol·L⁻¹ saline–alkali stress; the actual photochemical efficiency of PSII in the light and maximal quantum yield of PSⅡ decreased, with minimum values of 0.16 and 0.60, respectively. …”
