Leaf gas exchange of 11 species of fruit crops with reference to sun-tracking/non-sun-tracking responses

Leaf gas exchange of 11 species of fruit crops supplied with nonlimiting soil moisture was measured under varying levels of irradiance. In full sunlight net CO 2 assimilation (A) and stomatal conductance to water vapor (gs) were highest (A = 16.4 μmol m −2 s −1 , gs = 455 mmol m −2 s −1 ) for pecan,...

Description
Summary:Leaf gas exchange of 11 species of fruit crops supplied with nonlimiting soil moisture was measured under varying levels of irradiance. In full sunlight net CO 2 assimilation (A) and stomatal conductance to water vapor (gs) were highest (A = 16.4 μmol m −2 s −1 , gs = 455 mmol m −2 s −1 ) for pecan, intermediate to high (A = 12.1 to 14.6 μmol m −2 s −1 , gs = 230 to 370 mmol m −2 s −1 ) for peach, apple, pear, grape, blackberry and fig, and low (A = 5.7 to 10.2 μmol m −2 s −1 , gs
