A permeating and non-dissociating osmoticum, 3-orthomethyl-glucopyranose, also alleviated NaCl-induced perturbations of photosynthesis, suggesting that GB may work by maintaining chloroplast volume and not by specific effects on photosynthetic processes.enassimilation rate; CO2; intercellular CO2 partial pressure; 3-orthomethyl-glucopyranose; stomatal conductanceJournal article001997017410.1023/A:1006855816437
