Figure 3

Effects of foliar-applied acetic acid on (a) photosynthetic rate, (b) stomatal conductance to H2O, (c) transpiration rate, (d) leaf temperature, (e) WUEint (intrinsic water use efficiency), and (f) WUEins (instantaneous water use efficiency) in leaves of mung bean plants subjected to 0, 8 or 16 dS m−1 saline level for 14 days. Values (means ± SEs) of each treatment were attained from three biological replications (n = 3). Different alphabetical letters above the bars show statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) among the treatments, following a least significant difference test. AA, acetic acid.
