Changes in photosynthetic characteristics in different maize genotypes subjected to stress conditions

Abstract

Analysis of various photosynthetic characteristics in inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L.) and their hybrids subjected to low-temperature or water-deficit conditions revealed high intraspecific variation due to genotypic differences.
