Leaf gas exchange and δ13C in cowpea and triticale under water stress and well-watered conditions

Leaf gas exchanges play a critical role in determining crop productivity as they control both CO2 gain and water loss. CO2 gain and water loss influence water use efficiency (WUE) and carbon isotope composition (δ13C). Responses in leaf gas exchanges to water stress are species-specific. However, th...
