Pintо аnd cоlleаgues (2025) published аn article in AоB Plants (https://doi.org/10.1093/aobpla/plae072). Figure 4 shows that wheat plants exposed to elevated nighttime temperatures (+2°C) had higher stomatal conductance during the early morning (9:00 and 10:00 h) than plants grown under control conditions. However, elevated temperatures are generally expected to reduce crop productivity. Using the data shown in Figure 4 and your understanding of plant physiology, explain how increased early morning stomatal conductance could help maintain or improve grain yield under elevated nighttime temperatures. In your answer, discuss: The relationship between stomatal conductance and photosynthesis. Why increased conductance in the morning may be advantageous under heat stress. One potential trade-off associated with higher stomatal conductance. Figure 4. Early daytime stomatal conductance measured at 9:00 (gsD9) and 10:00 h (gsD10) during the booting and grain-filling stages in 12 elite wheat genotypes grown under high night-time temperatures. Heat indicate data for the high night-time temperatures treatment (+ 2°C). The lower and upper borders of the boxplots correspond to the first and third quartiles, the black lines within the boxes indicate the median, the dotted lines correspond to the minimum and maximum, while outliers are indicated with an empty dot (For each boxplot n > 22, 2 reps for a total of 12 genotypes).
