Table 5 Effect of SPM on stomatal conductance (mmol H2O m−2 s−1) in water deprived sweet corn genotypes (n = 3). Different small letters indicate significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) among the treatments of each genotype, and different capital letters indicate significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) among genotypes within each treatment.
