Abstract

Ranges of portable systems to measure leaf gas-exchange parameters are available. They allow real-time measurements of the photosynthesis rate (A), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (g_s), and intercellular CO₂ concentration (C_i). Photosynthetic CO₂ uptake is one of the most frequently studied plant physiological processes. The measurement is precise, simple, and noninvasive to perform in vivo. We describe the use of this method in environmental-controlled plant production systems at different temperatures on the growth and development of common buckwheat.
