Abstract

An installation is described enabling measurements of photosynthesis, transpiration and dark respiration, and estimation of photorespiration rates at different carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations, at different irradiances and leaf temperatures.

Abstract

V práci je podrobně popsáno zařízení, které umožňuje měření rychlosti fotosynthesy, transpirace a temnotního dýchání a výpočet rychlosti fotorespirace při různých koncentracích kysličníku uhličitého a kyslíku, při různém ozáření listu a různé jeho teplotě.
