Vj, relative variable fluorescence at 2 ms time; Vi, relative variable fluorescence at 30 ms time; Fv/Fm, maximum quantumn yield of PS II photochemistry in the dark adapted state; ABS/RC, absorption flux per reaction center; ETo/RC, electron flux per reaction center beyond QA -; DIo/RC, energy dissipation flux per reaction center.
Values represent the mean (n=3). Means with different letters are significantly different at p<0.05 probability level by Duncan’s multiple range test.
