Zhao Hong-wei

Paper Summary

The study looked at different types of maize plants to see how they photosynthesize. They found that each type had a peak in leaf area, chlorophyll levels, and photosynthetic rate at different stages of growth. The ratio of chlorophyll a to b changed over time, with one type having the lowest peak and another having the highest.
