Abstract:Net photosynthetic rate, adaptation, compensating and saturating irradiances, mitochondrial respiration rate in the dark, photorespiration rate, CO 2 -compensation concentration, assimilation number, and quantum yield were evaluated on both male and female kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev) C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson) leaves. Specific leaf mass, specific leaf area, and chlorophyll content were also estimated. Statistically higher values of the net photosynthetic rate, saturating irradiance, and photosyn… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
