Environmental Influences on Growth and Reproduction of Invasive Commelina benghalensis

Figure 5

Effects of day/night temperature regime and altered photoperiod on (a) root dry mass, (b) plant height, (c) number of leaves per plant, and (d) leaf area per plant of C. benghalensis. The long-day treatment was imposed by a 3 h nonphotosynthetic night interruption in the middle of dark periods. LD: long-day; SD: short-day. Data points are means of six replicates, and bars indicate standard errors.
