Relationship between leaf temperature and photosynthetic carbon in <i>Capsicum annuum </i>L. in controlled climates

528-533This study measures photosynthesis in Capsicum annuum L. by principles of gas analysis and expression of enzyme ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco), and demonstrates that a relationship exists between leaf temperature and photosynthesis. Observed relationship between leaf temperature and photosynthesis may be applicable to other C3 plants
