TL;DR: Various aspects of the biochemistry of photosynthetic carbon assimilation in C3 plants are integrated into a form compatible with studies of gas exchange in leaves.

TL;DR: It is shown how diffusion of gaseous COz can significantly affect carbon isotopic discrimination and a simple relationship between discrimination and the ratio of the intercellular and atmospheric partial pressures of COZ is developed.

TL;DR: A comparison of plants from contrasting thermol regimes in Thermally Contrasting Climates and adoptive responses in the heat stability 0/ the photosynthetic apparatus highlights the need to understand more fully the role of photosynthesis in climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear correlation between stomatal conductance (g) and CO2 assimilation rate (A) has been reported when photon fluence was varied and when the photosynthetic capacity of leaves was altered by growth conditions, provided CO2, air humidity and leaf temperature were constant.

TL;DR: In this article, a system of models for the simulation of gas and energy exchange of a leaf of a C3 plant in free air is presented, where the physiological processes are simulated by sub-models that: (a) give net photosynthesis (An) as a function of environmental and leaf parameters and stomatal conductance (gs); (b) give g, as well as the concentration of CO2 and H2O in air at the leaf surface and the current rate of photosynthesis of the leaf.
