Afternoon inhibition of photosynthesis in maize. 2. Environmental causes and physiological symptoms.
TLDR
Environmental causes of the afternoon inhibition of photosynthesis that is frequently observed under field conditions in maize leaves were investigated by exposing plants to various photosynthetic photon flux density, temperature, and air saturation-deficit environments during the day.About:

Simulation of diurnal transpiration and photosynthesis of a water stressed soybean crop
TL;DR: The diurnal course of photosynthesis and transpiration of different plants can exhibit a dissymmetric behaviour between the morning and the afternoon, a photosynthetic midday depression and a transpiration ‘plateau' as discussed by the authors.

Banana (Musa sp.) leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in response to soil drought, shading and lamina folding
D.S. Thomas,David Turner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured chlorophyll fluorescence in conjunction with net photosynthesis in banana leaves and found that the leaf surface receiving direct sunlight was more photochemically damaged than the abaxial leaf surface that received transmitted and indirect light.

Sprinkler Irrigation Changes Maize Canopy Microclimate and Crop Water Status, Transpiration, and Temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the microclimatic and physiological changes on two fields grown with maize (Zea mays L.) irrigated with a solid-set sprinkler system were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sugarcane Photosynthesis, Transpiration, and Stomatal Conductance Due to Flooding and Water Table
TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of periodic flooding followed by drainage to different depths on single-leaf net photosynthetic rate, transpiration, and stomatal conductance of sugarcane found neutral and sometimes positive responses to short-duration flood or long-duration high water tables support previous reports of acceptable and sometimes enhanced yields.

Photoinhibition of photosynthesis. An evaluation of damaging and protective mechanisms
TL;DR: In photosynthesis, photoinhibition is characterized by quenching of variable chlorophyll flurescence (Fv) resulting from increased thermal dissipation of excitation energy as mentioned in this paper.

Stomatal Responses, Water Loss and CO2 Assimilation Rates of Plants in Contrasting Environments
Ernst Detlef Schulze,A. E. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: The stomatal aperture appears to be controlled by complex mechanisms which operate to maintain a variable balance between allowing CO2 uptake to proceed, while restricting the loss of water vapor, and preventing leaf desiccation as mentioned in this paper.

The Effect of Temperature on the Occurrence of O2 and CO2 Insensitive Photosynthesis in Field Grown Plants
Rowan F. Sage,Thomas D. Sharkey +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that feedback limitations can play a role in determining the diurnal carbon gain in the field as the CO(2) concentration in the atmosphere increases.

Diurnal changes in the photosynthesis of field-grown grape vines
TL;DR: Field studies of the gas exchange of Riesling grape vines showed large diurnal changes in net photosynthesis during the period of rapid sugar accumulation by fruit, and possible non-stomatal factors responsible for the reduction in photosynthesisDuring the day are discussed.
