Photosynthetic flexibility in maize exposed to salinity and shade
In maize, salinity reduced photosynthesis by decreasing stomatal conductance. Shade downregulated PEPC more than Rubisco, leading to decreased bundle-sheath CO2 leakiness. The treatments elicited plasticity in NADP-ME/PEP-CK activity ratio.
