A comparison of water and photosynthesis behaviour of corn and sunflower under water stress. Inference on water use efficiency. Various indices of water stress sensitivity lead to contradictory conclusions as to the choice of irrigated crop between corn and sunflower. We propose an additional analysis of leaf gas exchanges after flowering to field analysis on dry matter and crop water use. Gas exchanges indicated that soil water depletion induces stomatal closure in both plants. For corn, this stomatal closure was accompanied by a reduction in photosynthesis when predawn leaf water potential decreased below - 0.2 MPa. Without water stress, stomatal conductance and transpiration were between two and three times higher for sunflower than for ...
