Comparison of growth, photosynthetic, and chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics of different native cultivars in Castanea henryi by XU Bin, WU Jingyi, WU Jianfeng, SU Xinyu, ZHAO Junru, ZHU Zhoujun, LI Jianxin

“…The target leaves were marked and subsequently photoinduced at a light intensity of 1200 μmol·m-2·s-1 for at least 20 minutes until stabilization of the net photosynthetic rate (Pn). The light-response curves were fitted through a rectangular hyperbolic correction model, with parameters recorded including maximum net photosynthetic rate (Pnmax), light saturation point (LSP), apparent quantum efficiency (AQY), light compensation point (LCP), and dark respiration rate (Rd). …”
