“…In L. Acclimation for temperature at which PN is optimum has been shown in many species grown under controlled environmental conditions (Mooney and West 1964, Strain and Chase 1966, Strain 1969, Billings et al 1971, Chabot and Billings 1972. In the field, Stalfelt (1937), Kusomoto (1957), DePuit andCaldwell (1973), and Lange et al (1974) (Saweda and Miyachi 1974). In view of microhabitat variability in a harvested maize field, some differences in degree of temperature compensation for photosynthesis probably reflect differences in acclimation in the field caused by differential protection of their rosettes.…”
