2. Potometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potometer

   A potometer' (from Greek ποτό = drunken, and μέτρο = measure), sometimes known as transpirometer, is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy shoot which is almost equal to the water lost through transpiration. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration. [1]

3. Plant stress measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stress_measurement

   Photosynthesis systems use infrared gas analyzers (IRGAS) for measuring photosynthesis. CO 2 concentration changes in leaf chambers are measured to provide carbon assimilation values for leaves or whole plants. Research has shown that the rate of photosynthesis is directly related to the amount of carbon assimilated by the plant.

4. Photosynthesis system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis_System

   A photosynthesis system analysing the photosynthetic rate of a maize leaf. Photosynthesis systems are electronic scientific instruments designed for non-destructive measurement of photosynthetic rates in the field. Photosynthesis systems are commonly used in agronomic and environmental research, as well as studies of the global carbon cycle.

5. Compensation point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_point

   The CO 2 compensation point (Γ) is the CO 2 concentration at which the rate of photosynthesis exactly matches the rate of respiration. There is a significant difference in Γ between C 3 plants and C 4 plants: on land, the typical value for Γ in a C 3 plant ranges from 40–100 μmol/mol, while in C 4 plants the values are lower at 3–10 μmol/mol. Plants with a weaker CCM, such as C2 ...

6. PI curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PI_Curve

   The PI (or photosynthesis-irradiance) curve is a graphical representation of the empirical relationship between solar irradiance and photosynthesis. A derivation of the Michaelis–Menten curve, it shows the generally positive correlation between light intensity and photosynthetic rate. It is a plot of photosynthetic rate as a function of light ...

7. Photosynthetically active radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetically_active...

   When measuring the irradiance of PAR, values are expressed using units of energy (W/m 2), which is relevant in energy-balance considerations for photosynthetic organisms. [4] However, photosynthesis is a quantum process and the chemical reactions of photosynthesis are more dependent on the number of photons than the energy contained in the photons.

8. Plant growth analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_growth_analysis

   Although the ULR is not equal to the rate of photosynthesis per unit leaf area, both values are often well correlated. [7] [8] The LAR can be further subdivided into two other variables that are relevant for plant biology: Specific leaf area (SLA) and Leaf Mass Fraction (LMF). SLA is the leaf area of a plant (or a given leaf) divided by leaf mass.

9. Photosynthetic capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_capacity

   Photosynthetic capacity (A max) is a measure of the maximum rate at which leaves are able to fix carbon during photosynthesis. It is typically measured as the amount of carbon dioxide that is fixed per metre squared per second, for example as μmol m −2 sec −1 .
