  1. Biomass includes LB leaf biomass, SB stem biomass, RB root biomass and TB total biomass. Biomass allocation includes LBR leaf biomass ratio, SBR stem biomass ratio, RBR root biomass ratio and RSR root-to-shoot ratio of biomass; Morphological indexes include TLA total leaf area, SH shoot height, RCD root collar diameter and TRA total root area; Photosynthesis indexes include Chl chlorophyll content, A sat photosynthetic rate, E transpiration rate and WUE water-use efficiency. Ns indicates no significance; *, ** and *** indicate significant difference at level of 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001, respectively
