Fig. 3From: Abscisic Acid Negatively Modulates Heat Tolerance in Rolled Leaf Rice by Increasing Leaf Temperature and Regulating Energy HomeostasisEffect of heat stress on leaf tissue temperature in rice plants. a, Thermal images of rice plants under control and heat stress during the day and night; b and c, Average leaf temperature values at day and night, respectively; d and e, Stomatal conductance (Cond) and transpiration rates (TR) during the day; f, Respiration rate (RR) of leaves at night. g, Leaf morphology under control and heats tress, respectively; h, Numbers of stomata in leaves; i, Stomatal opening rate of leaves; j, Stomatal aperture of leaves. Red triangle indicates the stomata; Red rectangle indicates that the photographs of stomata were taken at 2000-folds. Vertical bars denote standard deviations (n = 3). A t-test was conducted to compare the difference between the control and heat stress within a cultivar on the same day. * denotes P < 0.05Back to article page
