Fig. 4.
Typical responses to trigger hair irritation in the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) in darkness and an atmospheric CO2 concentration of 380 μl l−1 at a leaf chamber temperature of ∼22 °C. Net photosynthetic rate (AN; A), electrical signals (A; inset), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci; B), chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics (C), and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter, means ±1 SE (D). Fv/Fm, the maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry, is shown by open circles. The duration of trigger hair irritation is denoted as a bold line on the x-axis. Data shown are representative for total of five measurements.
