Exposure of barley plants (Hordeum vulgare L.) to soil flooding for 2 to 24 h reduced the net photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate. Stomatal conductance also decreased in flooded plants. Stomatal closure started within 2 - 6 h and stomata remained closed up to 24 h of treatment.

Keywords: Hordeum vulgare; net photosynthetic rate; stomatal conductance; transpiration rate
Subjects: barley, short-term flooding; flooding, short-term, stomata, gas exchange; gas exchange, short-term flooding; Hordeum vulgare; ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase; stomatal conductance, short-term flooding; transpiration rate; water potential
