“…However, none of these studies capture the extent of the reversal of physiological or molecular responses during the post-stress recovery phase to ascertain the level of phenotypic plasticity in plants. There are some papers that address this question in trees (Ameye et al, 2012;Haldimann & Feller, 2004;Hamerlynck & Knapp, 1996;Rueher et al, 2016) and in crops, including grape leaves (Liu et al, 2012), rice seedlings (Mangrauthia et al, 2017) and recent work on the recovery of photosynthetic capacity in wheat and spinach (Agrawal & Jajoo, 2021;Chovancek, Zivcak, Brestic, Hussain, & Allakhverdiev, 2021) and starch levels in cotton leaves (Loka, Oosterhuis, Baxevanos, Noulas, & Hu, 2020). Additionally, post-stress photosynthetic recovery in fieldgrown maize and soybeans (Siebers et al, 2015(Siebers et al, , 2017 has been recorded, as has the rapid recovery of leaf total non-structural carbohydrate levels after 12 hr of stress (Siebers et al, 2015).…”
