Abstract

Three promising tropical forage legumes, Cratylia argentea, Flemingia macrophylla and Desmodium velutinum were evaluated in a tropical monsoon environment in Hainan Province, China. D. velutinum had higher net photosynthetic rate (P_N) and water use efficiency (WUE) than the other two species, and photosynthetic performance was consistent with their stomatal conductance (g_s). Responses in g_s to increasing photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) showed two phases. Light was the main trigger for opening stomata at low light intensity (0-400 μmol quanta/m ²/s), as was a reduction in intercellular CO₂ (C _i). Indirect actions contributed more to stomatal behaviour than the direct effect of light at intermediate to intense light intensity (400-2000 μmol quanta/m²/s), with water status being the major factor that controlled stomatal behaviour. D. velutinum was more affected by vapour pressure deficit (VPD) feedback regulation in intense light, and less by C_i at low light intensity than were the other two species.
