A role for stomata in regulating water use efficiency in Populus x euramericana and characterization of a related gene, PdERECTA [PDF]
African Journal of Biotechnology, 2011 The physiological mechanism of water use efficiency (WUE) remains elucidated, especially in poplar. We studied WUEi (instantaneous leaf transpiration efficiency), WUEL (ratio of unused biomass and water), carbon isotope composition (δ13C), photosynthetic rates (Pn), stomatal density and stomatal conductance (Gs) in three different, randomly chosen ...
