Abstract

The net photosynthetic rate (PN), stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration (E) ofHardwickia binata Roxb. leaves were reduced due to decrease in the leaf water potential (ψw) from -2.0 to - 5.7 MPa. PN partially recovered in the treated plants upon rewatering. Decrease in gs due to water stress may be the main factor for reduction of PN.
