Which type of anti-transpirant reflects sunlight, reducing leaf temperature and thus decreasing the driving force for transpiration?

🔑Key Points:
-Reflectant materials, such as kaolin clay or calcium carbonate, create a white layer on leaves, reflecting solar radiation.
-This lowers leaf temperature and reduces the vapor pressure gradient between the leaf and the atmosphere, leading to decreased transpiration.
-This method is particularly useful in hot and sunny environments.
