Carbon Use Efficiency: Adaptation To Changing Environments, Jonathan Frantz, Bruce Bugbee
Techniques and Instruments
Most shade adaptation occurred within two days during vegetative phase.
Up to 12 days were required for complete adaptation.
Different species adapted differently.

In the literature on plant respiration, there are two viewpoints concerning the source of respiratory control: supply (photosynthate availability) or demand (temperature dependent) limitations. While different studies indicate the primary dependency for respiration is either the supply or demand side, the two paradigms cannot both be true. The relative importance of each paradigm may depend on a number of factors including period of time during which respiration is measured, phase of plant development, environmental conditions, and species.
Studies were performed using continuous CO2 gas-exchange instrumentation to monitor short- and long-term changes in whole canopies of lettuce, tomato, soybean, and …
