We measured the leaf gas exchange of Quercus ilex L., Pinus pinea L., Pistacia lentiscus L. and Asphodelus microcarpus L. for several days. Additionally, the xylem water potential of Quercus ibex, Pinus pinea and Pistacia lentiscus was recorded in order to obtain more physiological background information for the discussion of the trace gas emissions. This study indicates significantly different physiological responses to the different environmental condi- tions. In particular, summer conditions (high values of light, air temperature and low xylem water potentials) caused the depression of photosynthesis in Quercus ibex and Pinus pinea but did not affect photosynthesis of Pistacia lentiscus and Asphodelus microcarpus. This should be taken into account when discussing VOC emission rates and fluxes</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Marco, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manes, Fausto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricoli, Domenico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitale, Elisabetta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fluorescence Parameters Measured Concurrently with Net Photosynthesis to Investigate Chloroplastic CO2 Concentration in Leaves of Quercus ilex L.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Plant Physiology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">carbon assimilation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fluorescence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fluorescence quenching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">quantum yield</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">stromal CO2</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1990</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">136</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">538-543</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Summary The relationship between net carbon assimilation and non-photochemical quenching (qN) was studied in Q. ilex. In leaf discs, in saturating C02 at various irradiances, qN responded linearly in a 1:1 relationship to 1-A/Ap, which represents the proportion of light energy that is not used in photosynthesis. In calculating Ap, a measured, maximal quantum yield for CO2 fixation of 0.080 for 1-year-oldleaves and 0.085 for young leaveswas used. In attached leaves, under natural conditions, this 1: 1 relation was found when a quantum yield of 0.020 and 0.031 was adopted respectively. According to a model of leaf photosynthesis these quantum yields correspond to stromal CO2 concentrations of 90 and 120μLL L-1, in contrast to an average value of substomatal CO2 concentration of 280μLL L-1 found through gas exchange measurements. Similar results were obtained when the relative increase of fluorescence, observed after a saturating flash given during steady photosynthesis at different irradiances, was plotted against the quantum yield of CO2 fixation. The slope of this relation in attached leaves differed from the slope obtained in saturating CO2 in the leaf discs to such an extent as to indicate stromal CO2 concentrations slightly lower compared with the above values obtained by using qE. The marked difference between stromal and substomatal CO2 concentration could be explained by the highly sclerophyllous character of Q. ilex leaves.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
