The results showed that with the decrease of soil moisture content, Pn, Tr, Gs, Ci, Fv/Fm, ΦPSII and qP of lettuce leaves all showed a downward trend, while NPQ increased with the decrease of soil moisture content. Among them, the water holding capacity in the field was 55~60%, and the net photosynthetic rate of lettuce was the highest, indicating that mild drought promoted photosynthesis of lettuce.</p> Xiao Kong Zhen Liu Weiguo Fu ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-07-22 2023-07-22 5 2 p1 p1 10.30560/as.v5n2p1
