Abstract:The impact of strawberry leaf scorch, caused by Diplocarpon earlianum, on net CO 2 assimilation (A) and transpiration (E) rates was determined for both greenhouse-and field-grown plants. In the greenhouse, strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) plants were inoculated with an aqueous suspension of D. earlianum (1 × 10 5 conidia/mL) and placed in environmental conditions to generate a range of disease severities. Photosynthesis measurements on individual leaflets of greenhouse-grown plants ('Kent') were taken in a biot… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
