Abstract

Leaves well exposed to sunlight showed greater specific leaf weight (SLW), nitrate reductase activity (NRA), and content of total phenols than shaded leaves in cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) Though the shade leaves had more chlorophyll with a lower chlorophyll a/b ratio which might compensate for the limiting sunlight, the-adaptation was not maximal as their surface areas were similar to those of son leaves.
