Thermal regulation shapes the coordination of stomatal conductance, transpiration, and photosynthesis in rice.
Heat-stress driven by global warming alters rice (Oryza sativa) water-use dynamics. To assess adaptive water-use strategies under elevated air temperature, we conducted a three-year whole-season experiment in natural light climate chambers with ambient, +1 °C, +2 °C, and +5 °C warming treatments. Stomatal conductance (...
