      (a)−(c) Differences in net photosynthetic rate, (d)−(f) transpiration rate, (g)−(i) intercellular CO2 concentration, and (j)−(l) stomatal conductance among different genotype of poplar leaves. Same letters in the figures indicate no significant difference and the error line was the standard error. Pdb, Pto, Pta, Pho, Pag, and Pde were Populus davidiana × P. bolleana, triploid Populus tomentosa, Populus tremula × P. alba, Populus hopeiensis, Populus alba × P. glandulosa, Populus deltoides × P. euramericana 'Nanlin895'.

    • Figure 2. 

      Original leaf spectral reflectance from 400−2,500 nm of different poplar genotypes. Pdb, Pto, Pta, Pho, Pag, and Pde were Populus davidiana × P. bolleana, triploid Populus tomentosa, Populus tremula × P. alba, Populus hopeiensis, Populus alba × P. glandulosa, and Populus deltoides × P. euramericana 'Nanlin895'.

    • Figure 3. 

      Differences in leaf spectral features of different poplar genotypes. (a), (b), and (c) present the differences of MTCI in the upper, middle, and lower layers, respectively. (d), (e), and (f) indicate the differences of WI in the upper, middle, and lower layers. (g), (h), and (i) were the differences of REP in the upper, middle, and lower layers. (j), (k), and (l) indicate the differences of PRI in the upper, middle, and lower layers. (m), (n), and (o) indicate the differences of 891 nm first-derivation in the upper, middle, and lower layers.
