Abstract

A closed gas exchange system has been designed for connection to the Hewlett-Packard programmable calculator controlled data acquisition system to provide a complete process of measuring and control. The system enables routine measurements of photosynthetic and dark respiration rates at different irradiances and different carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations and leaf temperatures, and also a simple and rapid automatic control of irradiance according to the actual photosynthetic rate.
