Photosynthesis was measured at 30°C and 1,000 μmol photons m−2 s−1. The recovery of photosynthesis of the treated leaf upon returning to 30°C was divided by the recovery of the adjacent leaflet used as a control. In this way each replicate is from adjacent leaf material, eliminating effects of leaf-to-leaf variability. The order of the experiment (control or treated measured first) was varied. Data are reported as mean ± se.
