High-temperature stress effects. a The parameter V K/V J as a function of the parameter F V/F M used here as a measure for the severity of the treatment. Heat stress induces a significant increase in the value of the parameter V K/V J, whereas drought stress has no effect on this parameter. b. Demonstration of the critical temperature (T C): gradually increasing the leaf temperature leads above a certain critical temperature to an increase of the F O value. T C is determined as indicated in b; it differs between photosynthetic samples and may be used as an indicator for adaptation or tolerance to heat (Živčák and Brestič, unpublished data)
