Stomatal density (a), stomatal size (b) and maximum stomatal conductance (g_w(max)) (c) in three developmental stages of bamboo culms. The band inside the boxes represent the median, the whiskers upside and underside of box represent the first and third quartiles (25th and 75th percentiles, respectively), and dots correspond to values beyond 1.5× inner quartile range (IQR) from the first and third quartiles. Different capital letters below the columns indicate significant difference between treatments and the lowercase letters indicate significant difference between three developmental stages of culms (α < 0.05; Tukey method)
