Stomata hold sway in droughted dicot crops
Studies by Cornic and Fresneau (pp. 887-894) indicate that CO2 shortage imposed by stomatal closure rather than damage to the photosynthetic carbon fixation machinery explains the first 20 % of the inhibition to net CO2 uptake caused by drought stress in leaves of three C4 species.
