Change in nocturnal tissue acidity in A. americana tissues in response to variation in night-time temperatures as shown by the percentage of maximum recorded titratable acidity (A) and the calculated temperature index relationship (B). In (A), circles represent data collected by Nobel and Smith (1983), and the × symbols represent data from Neales (1972). The equations of the best-fit fifth-order polynomial and R2 values are displayed on the plots. (This figure is available in color at JXB online.)
