Barley Genotypes Vary in Stomatal Responsiveness to Light and CO<sub>2</sub> Conditions

Changes in stomatal conductance and density allow plants to acclimate to changing environmental conditions. In the present paper, the influence of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration and light intensity on stomata were investigated for two barley genotypes—Barke and Bojos, differing...
