Diurnal variations in gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in rice leaves: the cause for midday depression in CO2 photosynthetic rate

Gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence analysis were carried out to investigate the diurnal variations in photosynthesis in leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Leaf CO2 photosynthetic rate (Pn) showed a bimodal diurnal pattern and midday depression in Pn was observed at 13:00 h. Depression in Pn at...
