Temperature LCP1) (μmol/m2/s) DR (μmol CO2/m2/s) MPR (μmol CO2/m2/s) NAQY (μmol CO2/m2/s)
20°C 18.487c2) 0.540b 5.102a 0.029a
25°C 33.913b 0.776a 4.113b 0.023b
30°C 92.480a 0.422c 1.766c 0.004c
LCP, light compensation point; DR, dark respiration; MPR, maximum photosynthesis rate; NAQY, net apparent quantum yield.
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.
