intercellular CO 2 concentration ( C i ) were measured with a GFS-3000 portable photosynthesis measurement system (Heinz Walz GmbH). The gas flow rate was 750 μmol⋅m −2 ⋅s −1 , the fan speed of the gas mixer comprised seven stages, and the leaf chamber area was

plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, because it induces CO 2 absorption into the intercellular spaces of the mesophyll as a result of guard cells being stimulated and produces the energy required to open the stomata by inducing photophosphorylation
